Former water district CEO discusses desalination
Published on by Naizam (Nai) Jaffer, Municipal Operations Manager (Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Roads, & Parks)
Stan Williams, former Santa Clara Valley Water District CEO, said the benefits of seawater desalination include its reliability, high water quality, local control and the fact that it’s drought-proof.
Seawater reverse osmosis is scalable, according to Williams. Poseidon now supplies 8 percent of all water needs in San Diego County, he noted. Under contract for 30 years with the San Diego County Water Authority at a cost of $922 million, Williams said Poseidon has built within budget and on time the largest seawater desalination plant in the Americas.
