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.

Pure Water Monterey project bolstered by federal grant – California Under its WaterSMART initiative, which seeks to invest in technologies designed to enable âbroader scale use of recycled water to supplement supplies,â. The federal Bureau of Reclamation awarded the local recycled water project nearly 40% of its $40 million in grants awarded after a competitive review process, according to a release. The release also noted that the grant funding was âprioritized for projects that develop and supplement urban and irrigation water supplies through water reuse, thereby improving efficiency, providing flexibility during drought or water shortages, and diversifying water supply.â Pure Water Monterey project bolstered by federal grant – CaliforniaHIWI042021-01-09T21:25:34+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.

Monterey Bay Desalination Plant Debated by Coastal Commission – California The Monterey Peninsula is running out of water. The fog-shrouded, cypress-dotted land formation jutting into the Pacific Ocean forming the southern reach of the Monterey Bay is drying up as underground water aquifers become increasingly depleted. The lack of water inhibits economic growth, prevents the development of housing â including the affordable variety â and restricts commercial opportunity. (LINK).
