They need.....BRAWNDO! It’s got what plants crave!......Electrolytes!.......................
Not ALL ideas Californians endorse are ridiculous. This makes sense.
I have been to Red-State communities that have been doing this for years. Their water is fine and actually is better than most communities that don’t use so-called “grey water.” The days of capturing mountain streams or pristine aquifers to pipe fresh to our taps are over.
They put a nuclear power plant next to the ocean, but can’t put a desalination plant next to one.............
Indeed.
Yep.
My Florida neighborhood used to be based on wells and septic tanks. Wells have to be at least 75 feet from on-site waste treatment areas by law.
The county ran water lines into the neighborhood about 20 years ago.
I drank well water until about 10 years ago. I stopped because the water was too hard. It now has too much iron taste as well.
Those days never existed. Most big cities are sited on rivers for a variety of reasons. Water supply is one of them. Most peoples' tap water is taken from dirty surface water.
On the ocean.
Its why they have daily bacteria count reports for beachgoers.
The idiot environmental cases made an industry out of checking miniscule automobile emiissions while they ddestroy the oceans , raise ocean temps with bacteria and thn blame you for climate change for driving your car
You can annoy Muslims by pointing out that every glass of water they drink almost certainly contains water molecules that have passed through the kidneys of pigs.
In the 1970’s Venice Fl had a tertiary wastewater treatment plant that turned wastewater into water that was of higher quality than that coming from the deep wells that it was drawing water from. It was proposed to recycle this water into the incoming well stream where it would have been diluted and mixed into the water treatment stream that all water goes through. The idea of mixing treated water into “drinking water” failed to pass. They use it to water golf courses instead. The issue is really this, we have too many contaminants in the water supply sources. Water is requiring more and more treatment to make it drinkable. Population increases have put even more pressures on the system. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Now is the past repeating itself.
How did the environmentalists let that one slip by?.......
and dogs, infidels, and the dreaded women of Jerusleam.
Ping to desalination in San Diego.
Leftists have been whining about the world running out of clean water for decades.
Niagara Falls - 85,000 cu ft / sec
Inga Falls - 910,000 cu ft / sec
Victoria Falls - 38,430 cu ft / sec
Livingston, Chute de - 885,000 cu ft / sec
etc.
Just another leftist scare tactic.

Hopefully, in California the pharmaceuticals in the waste water will be removed by reverse osmosis.
So basically no change to Komiefornia water supply.
Not sure. It’s apparenly 4-5 years old ...
in May, 2023, the “California Coastal Commission” killed a similar plant that would have been in Costa Mesa ... buncha f’idiots! They had their excuses, including that the water would have been too expensive for low-income people (!) ... but I think the real problem is that it works. Can’t have that.
I have been in places (on land) where the tap water is exclusively from desalination. You’d never know. It tastes and smells no different from any other properly treated tap water.
I know right? I thought lots of places recycled black water. Especially the more land-locked states.
