DEEPWATER DESAL PLAN – 10/16/13 09:30 S.S.

REPRESENTATIVES  FROM  DEEPWATER  DESAL  BROUGHT  THEIR  IDEA  TO  THE  SOQUEL  CREEK WATER  DISTRICT’S  BOARD  LAST  NIGHT.    THEY  SAY  THAT PULLING  THE  WATER  FROM  100-FEET  DOWN  IN  A  DEEPWATER  CANYON  IN  THE  MONTEREY  BAY  WOULD  BE  ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLIER  THAN  CREATING SMALLER  DESAL  PLANTS THAT USE  SURFACE  WATER.    THE  DEEPWATER PLANT  WOULD  BE  10  TIMES  BIGGER  THAN  THE  PROPOSED  PLANT  IN  SANTA  CRUZ  (THAT  HAS  GARNERED  SUCH  COMMUNITY  OPPOSITION  THAT IT  HAS  BEEN  SIDELINED).   DEEPWATER’S  PLANT WOULD  WARM  THE  100-FOOT-DEEP  WATER  BY  SENDING  IT  THROUGH  A  NEW  REGIONAL  DATA  CENTER  (TO  COOL  THE  EQUIPMENT THERE),  BEFORE  STRIPPING  THE  SALT  OUT  OF  IT.
