UPDATE: California Public Utilities Commission Approved the Regional Desalination Project, a water desalination plant for the Monterey Peninsula at their meeting today in San Francisco. “The Regional Desalination Project will be developed by California American Water, a regulated utility and water provider to the Monterey Peninsula, and the Marina Coast Water District and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, two local public water agencies. The cities of the Monterey Peninsula will also participate in oversight of the project through an advisory committee.” And "Today's decision balances the need for adequate water with the need to provide water at a reasonable price," said CPUC Commissioner John A. Bohn, author of today's decision. "The CPUC must balance the cost burden contemplated on Cal-Am ratepayers from the construction of the Regional Project, generally regarded as the only feasible project with the likelihood being completed within the time limit imposed by the State Water Resources Control Board, with the burden on those same ratepayers if no alternative source of water is produced."

Geez, Sue’s water guru Rich Guillen doesn’t have much clout with the PUC. And Sue doesn’t have clout with the PUC. Maybe they will snap out of their delusional, grandiose mindset and realize that Carmel should not have any clout with anyone or any entity because it cannot manage its own internal crises so it has no business expecting anyone or any entity to take Carmel seriously for roles in external matters.
