Monterey Peninsula water officials balk at agreement with Cal Am – California An agreement that would turn on the taps for recycled water for Monterey Peninsula residents hit a speed bump Monday when water officials balked at a clause that would require the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to support any California American Water Co. project, including desalination, should the recycled water fail to meet a promised amount. For Cal Am to purchase water from Monterey One Waterâs Pure Water Monterey Expansion project, a water purchase agreement, or WPA, would need to be signed by Cal Am, Monterey One Water and the water district.

San Diegoâs Successful Desal Plant Should Be a Model for California Water Policy – California Often the value of a plan or project can best be judged by its opposition. In the case of the proposed Poseidon desalination plant in Huntington Beach, the forces lined up against it are clear indicators that itâs a worthwhile enterprise. The Sierra Club calls the plant ârather pathetic,â âthe most expensive and environmentally damaging way to secure Orange Countyâs future water supply.â A research paper co-authored by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the California Coastkeeper Alliance, the California Coast Protection Network, and several other groups says that âgiven the significant [âŠ] San Diegoâs Successful Desal Plant Should Be a Model for California Water Policy – CaliforniaHIWI042021-03-05T07:46:33+01:00
Opinion: A Desalination Skeptic Now Sees Carlsbad Plantâs âUndeniable Valueâ – California It is no secret that I wasnât the biggest fan of the Claude âBudâ Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant when it was proposed, and I still wasnât completely on board when the plant began operations in 2015, or even when I was elected to the Carlsbad City Council in 2016. But time has given me perspective, and I recognize now that the value that the Carlsbad Desalination Plant provides our region is undeniable. We are now celebrating the plantâs fifth anniversary since operations began. In that time, Iâve seen firsthand [âŠ] Opinion: A Desalination Skeptic Now Sees Carlsbad Plantâs âUndeniable Valueâ – CaliforniaHIWI042021-01-30T15:10:40+01:00
Water recycling project fits needs on Monterey Peninsula – California Expansion of the Pure Water Monterey recycled water project is the best option for the Monterey region to meet its future water supply needs. Unfortunately, California American Water Co., a private water supplier, is discrediting the project in the hopes of instead getting approval for their much more costly, oversized and environmentally harmful groundwater desalination project to be built in, around and through the city of Marina.
