April 21, 1967
Honorable City Council
City of San Juan Capistrano
31762 Camino Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano, California
Gentlemen:
We have investigated the proposal to provide sewer service in Assessment
District No. 1966-1, the northern portion of which is located in portions
of Sections 30 and 31 T.7S., R7W. and Sections 25 and 36 T. 7S, R8W, and the
Al -24-0
Z63
southern portion of which is located in portions of Sections 1, 2, 11 and 12
T. 8S, R8W, S.B.B.&M. in the City of San Juan Capistrano, County of Orange.
The soils are in general poorly suited to the use of individual
sewage disposal systems consisting of varying thicknesses of clayey top soils
underlain by either consolidated marine terrace deposits or siltstones and
fine grained sandstones.
Our investigations of sanitary conditions in the area have indicated
that residents therein have been experiencing difficulties with their indivi-
dual sewage disposal systems.
As Health Officer of the City of San Juan Capistrano and the County
of Orange, I hereby recommend that proceedings be instituted as quickly as
possible for the construction of sanitary sewers in Assessment District No.
1966-1 as described above, and shown on a map bearing the title "City of San
Juan Capistrano, Sewer Districts."
This recommendation is made as a measure necessary for the protection
of public health and is made pursuant to Section 2808 of the Streets and
Highways Code of the State of California.
