Both of these sources are overburdened and highly susceptible to drought conditions. As a response to this ongoing problem, the City of Carlsbad has decided to invest in a desalination project. This process not only removes the salts from the Pacific Ocean water that will be used but also removes all the minerals and organic material. The end product will be completely potable water suitable for drinking. This project is currently in production and will be operational in 2012.Friday, April 2, 2010
All of Carlsbad's Water is Imported
Nearly all of Carlsbad's water is imported. It comes from two costly sources, one in Northern California, the Bay Delta and the other from the Colorado River.
Both of these sources are overburdened and highly susceptible to drought conditions. As a response to this ongoing problem, the City of Carlsbad has decided to invest in a desalination project. This process not only removes the salts from the Pacific Ocean water that will be used but also removes all the minerals and organic material. The end product will be completely potable water suitable for drinking. This project is currently in production and will be operational in 2012.
