Desalination removes salts from the ocean or other salty water to produce fresh water through distillation or filtration. The water district has joined with three other large Bay Area water agencies to jointly explore the feasibility of building a regional desalination plant.
The other participating agencies are the East Bay Municipal Utility District, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and the Contra Costa Water District. Pilot work has begun to turn brackish water from Suisun Bay in Contra Costa County into fresh water.
Invitation to a Public Open House:
Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009 at 7 p.m.
EBMUD Headquarters in Oakland , 375 11th St., 2nd floor, Oakland, CA
Join us for a review of the preliminary results from the recently-completed Pilot Testing, and a discussion of project planning—past, present, and future. We want to hear about the issues you care about most as we join with neighboring water purveyors to plan future water supply options.
