A two person household consumes about 5 gallons of drinking water a week.
The cost for that is $2/week and $8/month at the Water Mill with no initial up front cost, no maintenance and no filters. Water Kiosks are near grocery stores which must be visited to obtain food.
There is no lower cost option and this is the highest quality drinking water available given it's produced via reverse osmosis.
Suggesting that filtering or treatment of 1000 drops of water to get 3 for drinking is "cheaper" an easily provable lie.
Omitting self serve bottled water from all dialogue about affordable and safe drinking water ordinances is a violation of civil rights when the "civil right to affordable and safe water" is the basis for regulation.
What these people engaged in isn't legislation or regulation it was racketeering with self interest and various commercial parties best interest in mind.
And we're still just talking about proposed Fraud #1. We've yet to touch 2 and 3 yet.
2013 Video of Sandoval and Flagg - view on youtube / view from gDrive
Sandoval proposes three solutions for affordable water and bottled water and/or self bottled water is an obvious omission. (need time stamp)
At minute 5:40 she states the 2 to 15 connection systems are regulated one way and the rest are regulated another and that the county regulates systems up to 200 connection and the state regulates systems over that. Yet regulations state 2 to 4 systems seemingly aren't really "regulated" at all in a formal sense, and that 2 to 15 connections are supposed to regulared far more like 15 and above.
Does Sandoval just make up words to fit a situation that sound good with no conscious connection to fact at all? Could fear of job loss or fear of homelessness lead to such a situation?
Do they look like they are being honest to you? Do they look trustworthy to you?
20190430 - Email to Sandoval and Encarnacion - Opposition to POU/POE - view
Canary stated, "I also just found a video of you (Cheryl) from March 2013 espousing three solutions for water issues. Seems you've not included bottled water for some time now. It seems you've made this {omission} a real focus of your work... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ricwyyk9stE "
Encarnacion stated, "EHB will provide any assistance and guidance to the water system if they choose any of the current options to meet water quality standards, and if this ordinance passes, assistance and guidance will be provided for those that choose the POU/POE option. The choice of which option to choose is made by the water system, not EHB. " Canary responded "Except, the choices given to satisfy regulations no longer includes self service bottled water."
Encarnacion sated, "The purpose of this ordinance is to provide an additional and less expensive option than what is currently available in MCC to comply with drinking water standards." Canary responded, "You just stated the purpose is to provide additional and less expensive option. 1) You did not say it was to exclude any options, yet you are excluding what most know to be the most cost effective option, which you continue to lie about blatantly, and now in writing ( {self service} bottled water) "

Canary stated, "In summary, the extent to which Monterey County is attempting to align with Corporate Interests to force the purchase and use of Corporate Filtration systems without any proper basis , and without {ANY} precedent that suggests the county should be involved in the manipulation of private property owners to this degree, is simply shocking. As you will see in the letter, I refer to this level of inappropriate alignment between Government and Corporate interests as Fascism, and it has no place in Monterey County."
Canary state, "It's my understanding Marla Anderson, the leader of another small well system, was at a recent Board of Supervisors hearing It's my understanding that when she attempted to push buttons required to get in the queue to speak, the buttons didn't work She was unable to speak and I am concerned that it wasn't merely a technical glitch. One reason I'm sending this in via this method and with such a public audience is to make sure I have no need to appear at a meeting with the remote possibility of being treated in a comparable manner. It's my belief that Marla may be showing up at the next meeting. If she does, I hope everyone makes sure she is given the opportunity to speak on this matter and present her feelings on this situation too. "
In Attachment from Canary -- Bottom of page 10 -- "By name and county position, who are the people in “the County” that find “bottled water use” not a suitable alternative or permanent substitute for water? How is using “bottled water” not environmentally sustainable? NOTE: They did NOT delineate here between water that is bottled in single use containers VS using reusable 1, 2, 3 and 5 gallon containers. This clause, as written, declares reusable potable water containers, be they glass or plastic, as only suitable for disaster emergency response."
Confirmation of receipt for emails was demanded from Sandoval, Encarnacion and the Clerk of Board. Here are those confirmation emails : Sandoval confirmation , Encarnacion and CoB confirmation
On or arounder 2/14/2024, I was in the Monterey County Permit Office trying to "figure out" Moneterey County ADU and Junior ADU Regulations. The online information was extremly confusing, contradictory and seemingly missing information. It looked nothing like that information posted by Santa Cruz County, which seemed to be done with sincerity.
During conversations into he office I was told my water connection had to meet certain criteria and I was handed a document with a header from the "Monterey County Health Department" / "Environmental Health Bureau" and a sub header called "DOMESTIC (POTABLE) WATER SUPPLY"
A copy of this document can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yPv2My3qmrtuWiMUyE0Z7gCi0_O7Rfkp/view?usp=drive_link and the front and back of the document are below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18PQd2MppGDzHcyREPpaRTQtUkG1HYZqKxPjjmO6xWrQ/edit?usp=sharing
The first problem with this document is in the title where it says "DOMESTIC (Potable) WATER SUPPLY"
Those two terms are not equal.
Potable water requirement only exists or wells of 15 connection s and above - per Title 22.
The document is geared towards wells with 1 to 14 connections as well as 15 and above and at face value the title misrepresents water quality requirements for wells with 14 connectios or less as thre is no requirement for a potable water supply.
From there, it took 45 pages to review the details in this document and there is alost no line or paragraph that does not misrepresent, conceal or conflate facts when compared to statutes and ordinances.
Whoever made any edits re-issued this document on 12/10/2020 committed fraud when it was re-issued.
20231031 - Email from Canary & Milrod to Sandoval and Encarnacion - Opposition to POU / POE - view email // view attachment as pdf | as gDoc
This email and attachment exposes a HOAX played on Doctor JC Milrod by Monterey County Executives and possibly a local contractor from 2001 through the time of this email in 2023.
Around 2004, it's believed a water system construction contractor grossly over quoted requirements for adding a third connection to 2 connection water system. He may have done that knowingly or he may ahve been lead to that belief by obscenly manipulative Monterey County Executives. When Monterey County executives were approached. they parroted the information the young and hungry contractor had quoted.
In 2014, when Milrod tried a second time to get permits, with the support of an Architect, Sandoval and Encarnacion seemingly played along with the HOAX and directly sustained it.
In 2023, this investigator sent an email on behalf of Milrod, exposing the history of a possible hoax and concerns to Sandoval, Encarncion and others. A response was demanded.
They failed to confirm receipt
NOTES:
This email was drafted when Canary's first email about his concerns related to the POU/POE program was drafted, but it was withheld until Encarnacion and Sandoval had proven they had received Canary's stand alone notice. Canary's demand for conformation for the prior notice wasn't just for tht notice. it was to establish the fact a viable email connection existed prior to sending this email.
Around 2024, I spoke with a water sampling technician from Sandoval's office who came to my home to take a water sample. I asked if in their permit review process or other consultation requests if they saw the over specification of water systems by architects, engineers and designers on blue prints regularly. He indicated they saw it all the time. I asked what they did in that situation. He indicated their policy was NOT to tell the home owner or developer of the over specification.
The last page of this attachment exposes Milrod's experience with ex Monterey County Executive Dale Ellis and Attorney Anthony Lombardo. That leads to other concerns about Monterey County Legal Lobby engagement in criminal behavior that goes beyond the scope of this website. It will be used to feed into future websites and larger concerns.

Sandoval and Encarnacion Failed to acknowledge receipt or respond.
20251201- Resent the 2025 email and attachment and demanded a response. view email
20241201 - "Response from Sandoval " - view email / view pdf
An email was sent from Sandovals email address with a 1.5 page pdf attached. The pdf was signed with a Docu Sign stamp. That is an "unheard of" way to send out personal corresponance and overtly suggests a "ghost writer" was involved in the response.
The response failed to answer key questions and concerns posed in Canary's email
The response conflated and confused "monitoring and notification" with "regulation" in way that was unfamiliar and incomprehensable to Canary
The response made patently false statements about the reason samples were taken from hose spigots.
There are other concerns.
This is the document that was needed to expose the behvior of these executives and others to public.
But what was the best way to expose details which can get complex, technical and actually very dark?
20251206 - Dialogue with Grok
There is only one way to attempt to convey the deviance and confusion being perpetrated on Monterey County citizens, and that is via a Convesation with Grok / AI. Prior to AI, exposing these types of multi layered , multi decade schemes was impossible for numerous reasons.
With Grok, nobody engaged in long standing regulatory and legislative fraud can hide. Their covers are blown and it's only a matter of asking the right questions to expose the rot that has been festering underneath for far too long. .

Thanks be to Grok.
