LOS OSOS—The County of San Luis Obispo Stormwater Program has launched a multi-year, Countywide effort to update infrastructure maps of stormwater drainage systems in unincorporated communities.
County personnel will begin mapping stormwater drain inlets, outlets, infiltrators, and pipes in the community of Los Osos in late January 2025. The mapping updates in Los Osos will likely be completed by April.
“The goal of this project is to capture updated, geographically correct data for the many different types of storm drainage infrastructure in our County. Each community has unique combinations of drainage structures that have been installed over many years,” said Ann Fletcher, County Stormwater Coordinator. “Our team has completed drainage system mapping updates in several communities over the course of 2024 and is well-prepared to begin mapping updates in Los Osos.”
County staff will be working in the public right-of-way and on the County’s maintained road system network and will not be collecting data or mapping privately owned or operated storm drainage systems. No construction efforts are planned in conjunction with this project. Mapping efforts will be suspended during inclement weather to ensure County personnel are available for storm and emergency response.
Community members are reminded to drive safely in accordance with posted speed limits and to watch for workers in roadways and road shoulders.
