Carlsbad desalination project:

/Under development for over 12 years, the construction of the Carlsbad 
Desalination Project is more than 60 percent complete.  When it is 
completed in the fall of 2015, the Carlsbad project, located in North 
San Diego County, will produce 50 million gallons per day of desalinated 
drinking water for the San Diego region and will be the largest seawater 
desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere.  The project is the result 
of an innovative Water Purchase Agreement approved in November 2012 
between the San Diego County Water Authority and Poseidon Water. /
