  • A review of the public record shows that all environmental impact analysis, including one done by the City of Huntington Beach as well as one done by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, conclude that this desalination facility can be constructed in a way that would result in impacts that are “less than significant.” Therefore, we urge your support.

    “Desalination must be included in any discussion of future water sources for Orange County.

    -Orange County Grand Jury
    Metropolitan supports development of a seawater desalination project in Huntington Beach…the completed project would help diversify Southern California’s water resource portfolio and provide a new, local water supply that would help reduce the reliance on imported supplies to meet expected future demand.

    -Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
    MWDOC’s Urban Water Management Plan identifies seawater desalination as a critical component of its plan to diversify the County’s water supply and reduce demand on imported water.

    -Municipal Water District of Orange County
    This local, drought-proof water supply reduces the county’s dependence on imported water and will contribute to a stronger economy, new jobs and millions in tax revenues.

    -California Department of Water Resources, October 14, 2010
    This fresh water facility would bring millions in revenue to Huntington Beach - money that could support libraries, police and fire protection, parks and city street improvements.

    - James O'Callaghan, President and CEO, Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce
    Orange County has an opportunity to play a leadership role by planning for its future. While the fresh water facility is not the sole answer to Southern California water needs, it should definitely be included especially given the current state of California's levee system.

    - Lucy Dunn, President and CEO, Orange County Business Council
    The builder will spend tens of millions of dollars locally to build a water facility for the benefit of Orange County residents. Private investors will put up the money protecting Orange County's taxpayers. It's a win-win situation.
