To honor their cause, all the anti-Israel people in San Diego County are going to need to boycott tap water. And everything made with tap water. Like food.

[The idea for the plant is almost 20 years old.]
With all the droughts they have in Southern California, you’d expect them to move a little more quickly than this.

I think those pumps should be powered by windmills and solar panels.

Or build a single new reservoir instead of litigating in favor of snail darter fish.

38 billion gallons per day!!!!!!???? could this be right? what California uses in a day. USGS estimate, whatever that is.
They’re gonna need a bigger desalinization plant.
And about 300 of them.

Cambria is a small plant, but it’s winning awards.
Santa Barbara is recommissioning theirs ... a plant built years ago and mothballed.

How much will the consumer pay for that water? $5 per gallon? It is expensive as water goes, but it will cost less than 1 penny per gallon.

...Eight pumps will push 54-million gallons of water 10 miles uphill every day...Wow, those pumps must be really low.
I wonder why they have to push the water so high?

I think those pumps should be powered by windmills and solar panels.Hydroelectric, of course.
Is it just me, or would it make more sense for them to save the water in holding ponds, and then release it into the ocean if and only if the plant fails inspection. (But, if it passes inspection, that water is good to go.)

Is this the one mothballed for overa decade just sitting there?
