Sand City Coastal Desalination Plant said...

$11.9 million Sand City Coastal Desalination Plant produces 300 acre-ft of water (98 million gallons approximately) a year.

Sand City Coastal Desalination Plant is the first full-scale seawater desalination facility in the state of California. It is capable of producing 300 acre-ft of water (98 million gallons approximately) a year and uses reverse osmosis (RO) process to desalinate brackish seawater. The plant became operational in April 2010. The official opening ceremony was held in May 2010.

Funding for the $11.9m project came from two sources. An amount of $2.9m was provided by the California Department of Water Resources through Proposition 50 Grant funding and the remaining $9m was covered by the city itself through redevelopment funds and city capital improvement funds.
