LAFCO File No. 6-S-25 | Estrella - El Pomar - Creston Water District Municipal Service Review and Sphere of Influence Study

The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has prepared a Municipal Service Review (MSR) and Sphere of Influence (SOI) Study for EPCWD pursuant to Government Code Section 56430 and Section 56425. The SOI is a 20-year growth boundary that includes areas that may be served by the District in the future. State law requires the MSR to be completed either prior to or concurrent with the SOI study. The MSR evaluates the public services provided by the District and is used as the basis for any changes to the SOI. The Commission took action to reaffirm EPCWD’s SOI to remain coterminous to the service area boundary as depicted in Attachment A, Exhibit C of the LAFCO January 15, 2026, staff report found on the LAFCO website at https://slo.lafco.ca.gov/. The Commission also established that all services available under Water Code Section 34000 are active with the exception of exportation of water and sewer services which are considered latent powers.
