New bridge toopen this summerCity officials will gather in June to

officially open a new $5.6-million bridge connecting a missing piece of Borden Road

over San Marcos Creek between Woodward Street and Twin Oaks Valley Road.

The long-awaited multi-modal project will improve connectivityfor motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and trail users. It will also helpreduce flooding in the area.

“This bridge is an important part of our overall traffic mobilityplan,” explained San Marcos City Engineer Mike Edwards. “It literallybridges a gap on one of the City’s most traveled thoroughfaresand will significantly improve connectivity once completed.”

The project was funded through TransNet dollars.

City lands $1 million grantfor Creek District Promenade

The City of San Marcos accepted a $1 million grant recentlyfrom the California Natural Resources Agency to help construct aportion of the San Marcos Creek District. The grant funds will helppay for construction of the Creekside Promenade, a nearly one-mile, multi-use trail that will meander along San Marcos Creek with open space areas and amenities. It will also restore morethan three acres of adjacent riparian habitat through re-vegetationof native flora and stormwater management practices.

The San Marcos Creek District is a 214-acre comprehensive “downtown” plan for San Marcos that will include mixed-usedevelopment, a 73-acre habitat preserve, environmental enhancements, and infrastructure improvements like streets, parkways, bridges and flood control.

Construction on pipeline for desalination plant under way in San Marcos


Construction on a 10-mile pipeline for theCarlsbad Desalination Project is now underway. The project is the largest in the westernhemisphere to convert seawater into clean,potable drinking water. The plant is locatedadjacent to the Encina Power Station inCarlsbad and the pipeline will be installed fromthere to San Diego County Water Authority’s(SDCWA) aqueduct connection facility in San Marcos.

Pipeline construction in San Marcos began on March 18 at the connection facility located just east of Rancho Santa FeRoad at Creek Street. Pipe is then being installed east along 9th Street to Las Flores Drive. An underground tunnel will beused to install the pipe across Rancho Santa Fe Road in order to minimize traffic impacts along that busy arterial street.

From there, the pipeline construction will head south on Las Flores Drive to W. Linda Vista Drive; and then west on W. Linda Vista Drive to Poinsettia Avenue. It will then continue through Vista and Carlsbad before finally connecting with the desalination plant.

The San Marcos portion of the pipeline construction should be wrapped up by this fall. The balance of the pipeline will becomplete in 2016.

Detours have been planned to help maintain traffic flow and signage will be posted along the construction route. Construction updates about potential impacts can be found at www.carlsbad-desal.com or you can call the

construction hotline at (877) 752-3152 or email [email protected]. Real-time updates will also be provided onTwitter at @CarlsbadDesal and Facebook at www.facebook.com/CarlsbadDesal.

The historic desalination project is the result of a 30-year water agreement between Poseidon Resources and the San Diego County Water Authority for the purchase of up to 50 million gallons per day of desalinated seawater.

When complete, the Carlsbad facility will provide a safe, sustainable, environmentally benign, drought-proof drinking watersupply. It will provide as much as seven percent of the region's drinking water, alleviating demand on the traditional sourcesand contributing to the regional supply.


What does desalinatedwater mean to you?

To ensure water availability for San Marcos’future, the Vallecitos Water District did not look upto the sky or delve deeper into the earth hoping fora sudden increase in rain or ground water. Instead,it looked to the vast, untapped source to our west –the ocean.

Vallecitos has contracted with wholesaler San Diego County Water Authority to receive 3,500acre feet of desalinated seawater per year – or 1.14 billion gallons – to help meet San Marcos’local water demands. This drought-proof source will account for 20 percent of the District’s annualdemand and will complement imported suppliesfrom Northern California and the Colorado River.

Purchasing desalinated water will also: • Minimize the impact to Vallecitos customers

during mandatory water-use restrictions in the event of a drought

• Offer superior quality water free of salt and virtually any mineral, biological or organiccompounds

• Provide an emergency water source in the event imported water is not available due to natural disaster.

When construction of the desal plant is complete,it will be another cornerstone to the District’s sourcediversification strategy to provide customers withreliable water service.

For more information about Vallecitos’ use ofdesalinated water, please call (760) 744-0460 orvisit www.vwd.org.

The public works department continued its water savingefforts this year by installing nearly 1,600 new rotator nozzlesin turf areas and medians throughout the City. These newnozzles – manufactured by San Marcos’ own HunterIndustries – are multi-trajectory and have a rotating streamthat applies water more slowly and uniformly than conventionalsprays and rotors. Additionally, five new SMART controllerscovering 9.5 acres were installed to make real-time adjustmentsto irrigation schedules based on hourly weather information.

Independent water studies estimate that these new rotator nozzles have a water savings of 20 percent or more.The City anticipates an even greater savings on water billsas the summer months approach and water usage increases.

Community garden ideabeing posed to residents

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become apopular way for consumers to buy seasonal food directlyfrom a local farmer. Typically, members or "shareholders" ofthe farm pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costsof the farm operation and the farmer's salary in return forboxes of seasonal produce throughout the growing season.CSA members report great satisfaction from reconnectingwith the land and participating directly in food production.

The City is currently gauging interest in participating in orrunning a CSA in San Marcos. An online survey is available at www.san-marcos.net/CSAsurvey for residents andbusinesses to weigh in with their opinion.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits and risks of becoming a CSA member, please visit www.sdfarmbureau.org. For more information about theCity’s survey, please call Housing & Neighborhood ServicesDirector Karl Schwarm at (760) 744-1050, ext. 3108.

Unsafe equipment poses fire dangerAre you doing the right thing the wrong way?

Clearing dead grass and brush from homes is a critical step inpreparing for fire season. But did you know that how you clearyour defensible space is just as important?

Creating defensible space involves clearing flammable vegetationsuch as pines, eucalyptus, grasses, brush and trees to a minimumof 100 feet from structures for homes built prior to January 1,2004, and 150 feet for those built after that date.

Here are some tips to prevent fires from equipment use:

• Do yard maintenance with powered equipment before 10 am, not during the heat of the day or when the wind is blowing.

• Never use lawn mowers on dry grass or brush.• Remove any rocks in and around the area before operating

equipment.• Be sure your portable gas-powered equipment has a

spark arrester.• Never refuel while equipment is still hot from use.• Keep the equipment maintained and free of carbon and

other buildup.

For more steps on how to prepare for fire season, please visitwww.readyforwildfire.org.

If you think there are endangered species or sensitive habitat on your property,please call (760) 744-1050, ext. 3237 prior to clearing.

Residents encouragedto sign up forALERT San Diego

During a large-scale emergency, the City ofSan Marcos will utilize the telephone-based emergency notification system Alert San Diego to get important information to its more than83,000 residents. This system sends a telephone notification to residences and businesses withinan area impacted or threatened by an emergency.

Currently, Alert San Diego uses 9-1-1 telephone databases to contact listed and unlisted land line telephones. If a call is picked upby an answering machine, the system will leave amessage. If the number dialed is busy or doesnot get answered, the system will redial up tothree times in an attempt to deliver the message.

Because the system uses 9-1-1 telephone databases, only land line numbers are in the system. Residents with Voice Over IP or cellulartelephones must self-register those numbersand/or an email address with the system.

To do so, please visitwww.readysandiego.org/alertsandiego.

Every attempt will be made to contact residents during an emergency; however, thereare some factors that could impact the calls likeloss of power, call volume and caller ID blocking.

Residents should not wait for an emergency call if they are concerned abouttheir safety and welfare.

Finally, please tune a radio station at home andin the car to San Marcos 1610 AM, the City’s emergency radio station. San Marcos 1610 AM will broadcast local safety informationduring an emergency.

Alert San Diego is TTY/TDD compatible.


Scald Prevention – A Burning IssueScald injuries affect all ages. Young children and the elderly are

most vulnerable. Annually in the United States and Canada, morethan 500,000 people receive medical treatment for burn injuries.Roughly half of these injuries are scalds.

Most burns occur inthe home, usually in thekitchen or bathroom.Scalds can be preventedthrough increased awareness of scald hazards and by makingsimple environmental or behavioral changes.These include providing akid-safe zone whilepreparing and serving hotfoods and beverages, and lowering the water heater thermostat todeliver water at a temperature not to exceed 120 degrees.

For more information about preventing scalds, please call theSan Marcos Fire Department at (760) 744-1050 or visitwww.ameriburn.org.
