The Campodonico/Lave family, Capitola Village

To comply with Governor Newsom’s “stay at home” order to reduce the spread, and mitigate the COVID-19 (coronavirus) impact, the District office will be closed to public access until further notice. To ease the stress during the COVID-19 crisis, water service will not be terminated for nonpayment of customer bills due to financial difficulty. In addition, customers who are facing these hardships can contact us at 831-475-8500 option 3 to make payment arrangements, will not be charged late fees. These temporary policies will remain in effect until further notice. Customers are still responsible for their water bills, and once the current public health crisis has passed, normal policies will be restored. For our customers who can continue with their prompt payments, it is greatly appreciated and helpful during this time.

Margaret, Reynie and their three children have been collecting their shower water for years. It's a habit for them that has provided wonderful garden bounty.
Whenever possible, Reynie Lave waters his garden with water captured from overflow (rinsing veggies, etc) from his kitchen sink.
In lieu of a traditional grass lawn, the family chose to install a wonderful patio geared for outdoor entertainment with bocce ball court, outdoor dining and a warm hearth.
