Some public services in the Community of Pajaro are provided by the Pajaro Sunny Mesa Community Services District (PSMCSD) which was organized by North County (District 1) Supervisor Marc Del Piero and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 1984. PSMCSD, a non profit, governmental agency, provides public water services, public sewer services, park services, and street lighting services to the community. PSMCSD has also significantly expanded its service areas to provide water services to the Prunedale, Elkhorn, and Moss Landing communities of North Monterey County. Between 1984 and 1990, Supervisor Marc Del Piero secured federal grant funds that re constructed and expanded major portions of the Pajaro County Sanitation District sewer system. This remedied multiple public health problems and extended services to the Bay Farms, Fruitland, and Las Lomas neighborhoods.
