Sewer costs are not confined to Los Osos

I am not one of the Los Osos “Sewer Nuts,” as the Shredder called the persistent voices who argue against the Los Osos sewer. I’ve never spoken publicly anywhere about the sewer issue, though I’ve lived here for 24 years. So please, Board of Supervisors and the entire San Luis Obispo County, do not turn off my microphone yet, because you really should think carefully about the ramifications to your local job and to our area economy building the sewer will have. First, consider that a recent annual Los Osos Community Services District Water Quality Report on tests for 18 regulated substances to determine whether there are any “biological, inorganic, volatile organic, or synthetic organic contaminants” in Los Osos water found no violations: Not one of the nasty substances that were subjects of the tests, among them mercury and nitrates, fell outside of the acceptable range. We have been warned of evils lurking in Los Osos water for 23 years, yet none were found; there are no violations. Perhaps you can understand why some people object to what’s about to happen. Starting in December, the first new property tax for the sewer must paid by Los Osos residents. Just in time for the holidays, my household will dish out an additional $375 for half of the annual sewer assessment. That won’t kill us; however, like many other residents, we want to avoid stacking up credit-card debt, so we’ll cut a few corners. We certainly have no alternative but to buy gas at $4 per gallon and we need to buy groceries; those are staples we simply can’t do without. Where my family and thousands of others in Los Osos will make up for the new tax is to skip such discretionary spending as going to the movies in Arroyo Grande, or we won’t check out one of the new restaurants in downtown San Luis Obispo, and do I really need another pair of shoes?
