Water Conservation is a Way of Life for Los Osos

 On June 6, 2024 the Los Osos CSD Board of Directors Declared a Stage II Warning of the Districts Water Shortage Contingency Plan.  This was downgraded from the Stage III Emergency declaration of the past.

Our water customers have been proactive in enacting water conservation measures.  We thank them for their continued conservation efforts.
