Connect With Pacifica This Week
Greetings!

Please be aware that the long-awaited Wet Weather Equalization Basin (EQ Basin) capital project is beginning soon near the Community Center. This major infrastructure improvement will help to prevent flooding during major storms in the coming years and will significantly enhance the quality of life for our residents. Fencing around the Community Center rear parking lot will be installed next week.The parking lot to the rear of the Community Center will not be accessible for the duration of construction. Please be on the alert in this area in the coming months and be safe.

If you were waiting for better weather to take advantage of the weekly farmer’s market, it is time.  This is a Certified Farmer’s Market organized by Coastside Farmers' Market group, so you can be confident of the quality of the produce that is available. This is a weekly event along Old County Road in the Rockaway Beach neighborhood on Wednesdays, 2:30pm – 6:30pm, running from May through December. You can meet up with your neighbors there!

Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and  thank you for wanting to   Connect with Pacifica!

Best,
KEITH BRESKIN
Interim City Manager

  • Peninsula Clean Energy – Understanding Your PG&E Bill - Questions about your PG&E bill? When you see Peninsula Clean Energy, note this is not an additional charge. Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) charges replace what you would have paid to PG&E for electric generation. Peninsula Clean Energy saves you money while providing cleaner energy!  Watch this short video to fully understand the changes on your PG&E bill: You can download the worksheet to calculate your savings and follow along from the PCE website: https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/residents.

    Peninsula Clean Energy is a non-profit public agency launched by San Mateo County and all twenty of its cities to meet local environmental goals. PCE buys low-cost renewable energy such as wind and solar power on behalf of all electric customers county-wide, and passes 5% savings on to you. That’s about $24/year less in utility bills for the average household. This change happens automatically, making it easy to enjoy these savings. Click here for more information.
