<Carlsbad is inputs brackish water from the lagoon, not sea water.> Elroy, not true... please... I wish people would stop this! Yes, the water comes from the adjacent lagoon in Carlsbad, but that lagoon is open to the ocean and is subject to "flushing" with the tides -- fwiw, that same water is used to cool the power plant directly adjacent to the desal plant... it is also used in aqua-culture to raise shellfish (which require actual sea water) it... is... sea... water... that... Carlsbad... is... treating... period... From the Carlsbad desal plant website: "Project Overview The Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant is a 50 million gallon per day (56,000 acre-feet per year (AFY)) seawater desalination plant located adjacent to the Encina Power Station in Carlsbad, California. Desalination has evolved into a desirable water supply alternative by tapping the largest reservoir in the world - the Pacific Ocean. The technology, available for decades, is at work in many arid areas of the world including the Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. A 30-year Water Purchase Agreement is in place between the San Diego County Water Authority and Poseidon Water for the entire output of the plant. The plant has been delivering water to the businesses and residents of San Diego County since December 2015." More at: carlsbaddesal.com
