The long-term proposal is expected to carry a $2 billion total price tag, and impose water-use restrictions on Angelenos.$2 billion today.
Wonder if they'll just have one bidder for the project?
And, will it be a "cost-plus" contract?
Si se puede!

Wouldn't ocean-water to tap be more easier, and palatable? Nuke plants would greatly help in this, too.

Doesn’t Orange County already do this??? They inject it back into the aquifer to prevent saltwater penetration into the water supply I believe.

As the operator of a water plant, I have no problem with these plans. We’re expected to remove contaminents down to a parts per billion now. Cleaning sewerage is easy in comparison.
To: XR7
I have a friend of mine who works for a muncipal water department. He told me that all waste water, whether it comes from the sink or toilet, is cleaned, purified, and returned to the water supply. Eventually, the same water will be used again, taken into the water system, treated and purified, and sent to our homes.

contaminantThat is the simple mistake I'm worried about. Just one in 1,000,000,000 that I would end up drinking! :-)))

After all, where do they think the towns downstream from Ann Arbor Michigan get their water other than the same river into which Ann Arbor dumped their treated wastewater?

So why are we so concerned about the trace amounts of anti-biotics and other drugs found in tap water?
