California wine is essential to the state’s economy, as the state is the fourth largest wine producer in the world, contributing 90-percent of American wine and responsible for $18.5 billion in the country’s retail wine sales. California Wine Month is a campaign coordinated by the Wine Institute and its more than 1,000 California wineries and affiliated businesses.

Construction to replace a deteriorated Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) will begin Tuesday, September 6 and is estimated to be completed on October 18. The collapsed CMP will be replaced with a new Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe to prevent future flooding of the right-most, southbound lane of South Higuera Street, near the Margarita Avenue and South Higuera Street intersection. In addition, the embankment of San Luis Creek will be stabilized with concrete blocks—all made possible by Measure Y funding—your fifty cent sales tax at work. Normal working hours for this project are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additionally, Gateworks Corporation and any surrounding businesses will remain open for business, while the private parking lot at 3026 South Higuera Street will be closed during construction. The estimated total cost for the storm drain pipe replacement and creek stabilization is $65,460. The Project Manager is Public Works Engineer, Manny Guzman. All work performed by the contractor, Arthur’s Contracting, will be overseen by Public Works Engineering Inspector, Bob Bishop. For more information on how San Luis Obispo tax payers’ Measure Y funds are being put to use, please visit the Public Works website at www.SLOCity.org or contact Public Information Officer, Andrea M. Montes at (805) 781-7014 or via email to
