Aptos Composers Shine Through Del Sol In Concert

By Richard Lynde

Josef Sekon Del Sol

Save Ratepayers $3.5 million Watsonville — The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PV Water) successfully locked in historically low interest

strong management, the removal of the sunset restriction on the ground water augmentation the Basin Management Plan and the Agency’s

Agency’s outstanding obligations by issuing $19,970,000 in revenue bonds at a cost of 2.67%. The Agency will save over $250,000

March 2029. These saving were the result of

insurance to increase the rating to “AA.” PV Water was able to achieve these

markets because of outstanding litigation and rate structure limitations. The successful conclusion of these issues allowed the Agency

million dollars in interest.

Additional information is available on the Agency’s website – pvwater.org.

Since Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (ESNERR), one of 28 research reserves Elkhorn Slough, located in the central Monterey Bay area encompasses a wide variety of habitats — including oak woodlands, maritime chaparral, coastal prairie, and the largest tract of tidal salt marsh in California south of San Francisco Bay — that support an incredible diversity of life. Estuaries like Elkhorn Slough are among the most threatened ecosystems in California, harboring disproportionate numbers of rare, threatened, and endangered using the slough. Upland and tidal habitats in and around the slough support 340 species of species as well as resident sea lions, harbor seals and the highest concentration of endangered Southern sea otters on the west coast.
