Santa Cruz Sentinel/K/ J.M. Brown, 10/7/13. "Santa Cruz council to review plan for next steps in desalination water debate."
| Don't worry few improvements ever happen in Pacifica, and more pragmatic Daly City is nearby |
A draft environmental report
on the desal project was completed in May at a cost of $1.6 million,
which is just a fraction of $15 million spent so far by the city and its
desal partner, the Soquel Creek Water District. Bernal expects Tuesday
to detail the possible cost of responding to more than 400 public
comments or questions and altering the report to include that input -- a
process that could take up to 18 months to complete." Read article.

Just spoke with a friend visiting from Australia. The subject of their drought came up and it was mentioned that a desalination plant was built, I believe in the Sydney area. It's never been used, and I have no idea how large it is, but supposedly, it costs $1.5 million per day to keep it operational.
One has to wonder how much sea water can be removed before there are negative effects on the ocean.
