Community News & Events

Random Acts of Kindness Day

The City is proud to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day today, February 17^th. On this day we celebrate, honor and encourage random acts of kindness in our community. Simple acts of kindness are contagious, and the collective power of kindness can change our attitudes towards one another and our sense of well being. When we are KIND, we inspire others to BE KIND, and it creates a ripple effect that spreads outwards.

By adopted resolution, the City is an official “City of Kindness,” and is committed to fostering a culture of kindness among City government, schools, businesses, residents, and visitors. We encourage you to participate in help spreading kindness in Solana Beach!

Santa Fe Irrigation District Pipeline Construction

Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID), the purveyor of water for a majority of the City of Solana Beach, is scheduling to upgrade the water pipeline system at the intersection of Lomas Santa Fe and El Viento, in Glenmont between El Viento and the water reservoir site (Larrick Resevoir), in Granados between El Viento and Cliff Street, and in Cliff Street Between Granados and Glenmont. This work is necessary to replace older water pipes that have exceeded their useful life. This project is scheduled to start in early March and will last until November 2023, weather permitting. Due to this significant construction activity which involves heavy equipment and roadway trenching, parts of the roadway segments mentioned above will be partially closed during typical construction hours (7:00 am to 3:30 pm). Additionally, some of these roadway segments will be fully closed for limited hours. Appropriate directional signage and construction personnel will facilitate vehicular movement through the area. In the event that construction might block access to residential driveways, residents will be notified 3 days in advance.
