A Message from the Board:
Hello Friends,
We have just received the engineering plans for the pipe line from the well to the lake from Fred Watkins. The plans will now go to contractors. We want to thank Fred Watkins and John Kudla for all their hard work as a donation to Friends of Atascadero Lake.
Please check out the video below, the lake has gone through many changes over these last three years. Just think, when we get the well project completed it will never look like this again.
Thanks to all of you for your interest in restoring Atascadero Lake. We all have one goal in mind and together we will reach it.
Friends of Atascadero Lake Board of Directors.
