San Diego Union Tribune Carlsbad, CA (December 13, 2015) Poseidon Water’s desalination plant in Carlsbad is poised to begin regular operations within days — decades after water officials first considered harvesting drinking water from the sea and 14 years after they formally took the first steps toward its construction.

Carlsbad, CA (December 12. 2015) - The newest weapon in the war on drought in California has arrived, an engineering marvel that will harvest drinking water from the ocean on a scale never before seen in the Western Hemisphere. San Diego Union Tribune
Carlsbad, CA (December 12, 2015) - It’s been there all along, the largest reservoir in the world, lapping at our shore but unavailable through drought after drought. Finally, on Monday, politicians and government officials, business leaders and residents will gather in Carlsbad to dedicate a $1 billion plant and pipeline connecting the Pacific Ocean to the San Diego County drinking water network. It is in many ways a remarkable and historic achievement. But it is hardly the end of the search for reliable, sustainable, drought-proof sources of affordable water for the future. This week, construction crews installed the final segment of the Carlsbad Desalination Project’s pipeline. The pipeline stretches 10 miles from the nearly complete Carlsbad Desalination Plant through the cities of Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos to the San Diego County Water Authority’s Second Aqueduct.
