Water

August 1, 2003 marked the date that the community took ownership of the local water system. Montara Water & Sanitary District operates the water system for the people of Montara Moss Beach. In November 2001, our community gave a big thumbs-up (81%) to a $19M bond to buy and rehabilitate the system.

Even kids help restore murres to Devil's Slide Rock.

The Tunnel

Ground breaking is expected in April 2005.

"Asking typical 'developers/contractors/realtors' to limit growth and development to what can be sustained indefinitely is like asking guppies to stop eating their young or dung beetles to stop rolling balls of their foul bounty."
-- Carl May, coastside commentator
