How much will West Basin’s #desal plant raise resident's water bills? We don't know, warns UCLA’s @gregspierce. The district is considering approving the half-billion dollar project tonight, w/o addressing affordability concerns. https://www.dailybreeze.com/2019/11/17/ratepayers-deserve-more-information-on-desalination-costs-greg-pierce/

West Basin Water District wants to spend half a billion dollars on ocean #desal in LA's South Bay. Ratepayers will foot the bill, and low-income communities will be hit the hardest when water bills increase. Join @SmarterWaterLA on Nov 18 & say NO to desal http://smarterwaterla.org/rally

As the most energy-intensive water supply option, ocean #desal should be unthinkable. Why worsen air quality in our communities, when climate-friendly solutions are on the table? Join our friends @smarterwaterla on Nov 18 & say NO to desal in LA County http://smarterwaterla.org/rally

Students don’t want desal! These postcards to West Basin’s Board of Directors, opposing the ocean desalination plant in El Segundo, are from local students concerned about the environmental impact. Want to speak up too? Join us at our rally! https://eventbrite.com/e/79790588799

In his letter to @Beach_Reporter, Manhattan Beach resident Paul Beswick expresses serious concern about #desal & wants his City Council to hear from @LAWaterkeeper & @surfrider_sbay about the downsides of the proposed project.

There’s no justification for spending half a billion taxpayer dollars on the #1 most expensive, energy-intensive local water supply option. We’re smarter than this. Rally w/ us next Monday Nov. 18 to tell West Basin NO #desal!

Verification

Seawater desal is…

“unlikely to be a major part of California’s water supply portfolio due to its high cost of operation, the availability of other sources of water (such as recycled wastewater), its high energy use and the resulting high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and siting difficulties given the fragility and importance of California’s coastal ecosystems.”  Water in the West, Stanford University, 2016.
