Poseidon’s Huntington Beach desalination plant still in choppy waters – California As Poseidon Water pursues the final government approvals needed to build one of the countryâs biggest seawater desalination plants. The company still cannot definitively say who will buy the 50 million gallons a day of drinking water it wants to produce on the Orange County coast. Thatâs one of several questions that continue to dog the $1-billion Huntington Beach project as Poseidon tries to seal an iron-clad deal more than two decades after it first proposed the ocean desalter.

SCWD Board Approves Path to By-District Elections – California The South Coast Water District Board of Directors approved an interim settlement agreement Thursday that clears the way for the agency to transition to by-district voting in 2022. If the directors approve the new voting system next year, SCWD would join the hundreds of other public agencies to move away from at-large voting under threat of lawsuits authorized by the California Voting Rights Act. In January, SCWD received a demand letter from Newport Beach attorney Philip Greer who claims to represent a [âŠ] SCWD Board Approves Path to By-District Elections – CaliforniaHIWI042020-04-25T14:18:21+02:00
Maestas: Poseidon Desalination Would Worsen Environmental Injustice in Orange County – California What would California be without the beach? I grew up in Irvine with an awareness of how fortunate we are to live near the ocean. As a child, my parents and babysitters took me and my brother to Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach frequently during the summer. I have many happy memories of enjoying the waves at âour beachesâ while bodysurfing, building sandcastles, and seeing fish, anemones, sandcrabs, dolphins and jellyfish! We also took school field trips to Crystal Cove to learn about the [âŠ] Maestas: Poseidon Desalination Would Worsen Environmental Injustice in Orange County – CaliforniaHIWI042020-03-06T11:05:51+01:00
Huntington Beach desalination plant may get subsurface Intake – USA – California Poseidonâs attempt to influence the State Lands Commission is too little, too late. Promising environmentally friendly methods in building a $1 billion desalination plant in Huntington Beach is not sufficient to overcome its past record of problems surrounding its Tampa Bay plant. The California Coastal Commission has suggested and urged Poseidon to use a subsurface intake pipe so that the sand would act as a filter for marine life, such as small fish, fish larvae and eggs, which Poseidon has rejected because of the expense. The Orange County Water District has recently expanded its groundwater replenishment system [âŠ] Huntington Beach desalination plant may get subsurface Intake – USA – CaliforniaDME GmbH2017-09-26T09:07:00+02:00
USA Bureau of Reclamation Awards $3.62M for Desalination and Water Purification Research in 13 States ⊠Bureau of Reclamation Acting Commissioner Alan Mikkelsen announced today that Reclamation will provide $3.62 million to conduct laboratory and pilot-scale desalination and water purification research in 13 states. Sixteen laboratory projects, four new pilot-scale projects and one continuing pilot-scale project were selected. The $3.62 million in federal funding is being matched by $3.52 million in non-federal funds. âDesalination and water treatment provide a potential new source of water for communities throughout the West,â Mikkelsen said. âThe research funding provided today will enable new technologies to be studied to see if they can help improve the treatment [âŠ] USA Bureau of Reclamation Awards $3.62M for Desalination and Water Purification Research in 13 StatesDME GmbH2017-09-11T16:48:26+02:00
