The Mission Viejo City Council recently approved plans to renovate an old city property into a new water plant, administrative offices, and an event space for residents.
The property—located at 27204 La Paz Road—is shared by the Santa Margarita Water District and the city. It previously housed the Oso Creek Water Treatment Plant, one of the original water plants in Orange County, and a corporate yard used by the city for administrative and storage purposes.
