RELIABLE WATER FOR OUR FUTURE
Ensuring a Diverse and Drought-Proof Water Supply for Monterey County
Project Summary
The Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project is a three-pronged plan to restore the regions historic water supplies, prepare for future droughts, ensure long-term water reliability and economic stability and provide for sustainable future growth. This climate adaptation strategy includes the development of three new water sources – a new desalination facility that will produce enough water to service more than 18,000 households per year, an expanded aquifer storage and recovery program and a groundwater recycling and replenishment expansion, known as Pure Water Monterey. The project has been designed and refined to minimize environmental impacts, provide water for disadvantaged communities and reflects extensive input from municipalities, NGOs, community advocates, businesses and residents across the county.
