Our Carmel River has historically been, and continues to be, the source of the peninsula's water supply.
The Monterey County Weekly
has published a fascinating history of water on the Monterey Peninsula written by reporter
Asaf Shalev
:
"With the future of the Monterey Peninsula’s water supply—and water utility—on the line,
we take a look back at how we got here."

ada Update:
In last week's bulletin, we said "
As of this date, we have not received a reasonable response from the developer and understand that he may appeal the court’s decision."
While negotiations are continuing, the developer
has
in fact filed an appeal, and briefing on the appeal is under way in the Sixth District Court of Appeal.

CARMEL VALLEY LIBRARY
FIRST SATURDAY PROGRAM
|
|
Join us for the next interesting speaker and topic during Carmel Valley Library’s FIRST SATURDAY PROGRAM SERIES, held most 1st Saturdays of the year at 10:15 am.
Last week, we mistakenly listed February 2 as speaker Jeff Ohlson, talking about History of the Carmel Valley Vintage Airfield. His speech was in 2019. Our apologies.
Jeff Ohlson
will
be speaking
May 9, 10:15 am
about the history of the VALLEY VOLUNTEER FIRE SERVICE that was in place for many years. (NOTE: this is the SECOND Saturday in May - an anomaly, but true!)
This free program at the Carmel Valley Branch is being hosted by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library as part of the popular First Saturday Program Series. Program begins promptly at 10:15 am and lasts about an hour. Refreshments will be served. Seating is limited.
For information, please call the Library at 659-237

Carmel Valley Association is one of the oldest, largest, and most suc
cessful community organizations in Monterey County. We are entirely volunteer, with no paid employees. Our mission is to defend the beauty, resources and rural character of our beautiful valley. We do that by working with residents, businesses, and government.
CVA was instrumental in the adoption of the Carmel Valley Master Plan and recently settled a lawsuit with Monterey County regarding traffic measurement and capping future development on very favorable terms for our valley. Our volunteer experts represent Carmel Valley's interest, testifying before governmental bodies concerning development, water, traffic, road signs, and other quality of life issues.
We keep valley residents informed about important issues and events with our weekly email Bulletin, which goes to over 1200 residents, and our quarterly Newsletter, which is mailed to over 7,000 valley addresses.

Member Richard Cheatham has created a video about our beautiful Carmel Valley and CVA's role in preserving it.
