Pajaro Reopens to Residents After Levee Breach and Flooding

Pajaro residents are allowed to return home for the first time since a levee breach led to mass flooding on March 11. Re-entry will allow residents to see their homes and belongings, and begin the cleaning process. Officials are telling people they shouldn't return to living in their homes until they have been cleaned and cleared of any health concerns, such as mold. Many homes in Pajaro were still without power Thursday morning, and as of the last report, no homes had running water or working sewage. Cleaning, toilet, showers, handwashing, and laundry stations, along with bottled water, and information booths are available at Pajaro Park and Pajaro Middle School.
