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.  *
