That\u2019s the pressure 1,400 feet underwater that a startup hopes to use to push seawater through ultrafine filters and make drinking water off the coast of Malibu \u2014 without much of the controversy that surrounds desalination. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=911\">Why a loss for Hilton would be a win for Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Desalination plants are notoriously large electricity users. Some have natural gas pipelines running to them to fuel dedicated power plants. The company OceanWell estimates its technology will cut that electricity use by <u>up to 40%.<\/u> <\/p>\n<p>Its goal is to anchor an array of units 4.5 miles offshore, at a cost of $500 million to $1 billion, to deliver 60 million gallons of water per day. That\u2019s enough for about 400,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>Prompted by severe water cutbacks four years ago, the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District has been working with Menlo Park-based OceanWell to develop a cheaper, less power-hungry way to turn saltwater into drinking water without sucking in tons of sea life. <\/p>\n<p>In a recent test at a local reservoir, it worked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited about it. I think there\u2019s a potential for this to be a game-changer,\u201d said David Pedersen, the district\u2019s general manager. \u201cWe\u2019ve done what we can in the reservoir. We really need to get in the ocean now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OceanWell\u2019s chief executive was equally pleased. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt went really, really well,\u201d Robert Bergstrom said. \u201cIt\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trial in Las Virgenes Reservoir near Westlake Village showed that the system prevented most plankton from being sucked in and killed, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Later this year, the company plans to test one of its \u201cpods\u201d suspended from a boat offshore.<\/p>\n<p>The next step would be to anchor one of the devices to the seafloor for a longer test. <\/p>\n<p>The goal is to build what Bergstrom calls Water Farm No. 1, an array of dozens of 40-foot-long pods. At a depth of about 1,400 feet, the pressure is more than 40 times greater than at the surface. The technology harnesses that pressure to push seawater through reverse-osmosis membranes. Pure fresh water would be pumped to shore by pipeline. <\/p>\n<p>The company says it will need permits from a list of agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. <\/p>\n<p>The site off Malibu is in federal waters. Unlike offshore wind farms, no lease would be required from the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. But the State Lands Commission would require a lease where the power and water lines cross state waters to reach the shore.<\/p>\n<p>Managers of seven Southern California water agencies have been <u>studying options<\/u> for building the pipelines and pump stations to transport the water on land if the technology pencils out. <\/p>\n<p>The pilot study in the reservoir was supported by about $700,000 in grants from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.<\/p>\n<p>Coastal desalination plants discharge ultra salty brine waste that can harm marine life, but the undersea pods release a less concentrated brine, which the company says is friendlier to the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do it with less energy and less environmental footprint,\u201d Bergstrom said. \u201cWe\u2019re proving a next-generation seawater desalination system that answers all of the concerns brought up by the environmentalists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> and Santa Barbara already have desalination plants. Water agencies in Orange County are also planning the <u>Doheny Ocean Desalination Project<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=910\">Democratic voters confident California election is secure, Republicans less so, poll finds<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But in 2022, the California Coastal Commission <u>rejected a plan<\/u> for one in Huntington Beach. Opponents argued that the water wasn\u2019t needed, and raised concerns about high costs and environmental harm. <\/p>\n<p>One question about OceanWell\u2019s project is how much the water would cost.<\/p>\n<p>Desalinated water from the Carlsbad plant is one reason people in San Diego County pay some of the highest water rates in the state. <\/p>\n<p>If an offshore array were built for Las Virgenes and other agencies, OceanWell would own it and sell the water under contract. Initial estimates put the cost between $2,000 and $3,000 per acre-foot \u2014 significantly higher than other sources but still acceptable, Pedersen said.<\/p>\n<p>As they consider a deal, Las Virgenes and six other agencies including the L.A. Department of Water and Power, the city of Burbank and Calleguas Municipal Water District, are forming a new entity called the Southern California Regional Water Authority, he said. They\u2019re preparing for worsening droughts as climate change makes water from the <u>Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta<\/u> and the <u>Colorado River<\/u> less reliable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, it\u2019s all about diversifying water supply, being more climate resilient and not being in a situation where drought is going to have such a severe impact on our customers,\u201d Pedersen said.<\/p>\n<p>His agency, which depends almost entirely on imported water from the Delta via the State Water Project, serves more than 75,000 people in Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Westlake Village and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>During the last drought from 2020 to 2022, the district was under severe water restrictions and customers reduced usage nearly 40%.<\/p>\n<p>As some residents <u>fumed about the restrictions<\/u>, they asked why managers of Las Virgenes weren\u2019t taking a hard look at desalination. That led the agency to partner with OceanWell, Pedersen said.<\/p>\n<p>If further tests prove successful, other sites along the California coast would be well-suited to the technology, Bergstrom said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe potential is to make California water independent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>OceanWell recently signed an agreement with the water agency in Nice, France, to develop a smaller project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could be a strategy used by coastal communities around the world,\u201d Pedersen said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s exciting to do that here in California first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some environmental advocates who have <u>opposed desalination<\/u> in the past are taking a wait-and-see approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the extent that you\u2019re looking at emerging technologies that might prove feasible and be able to deliver the water with less harm and less cost, then great. Am I sold on it? Absolutely not,\u201d said Bruce Reznik, executive director of the nonprofit group Los Angeles Waterkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>He said he\u2019s skeptical but he\u2019d like to be proved wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see how it ends up penciling out in the end once we start to see some real results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/california-relocation-journal.com\/?p=908\">A warmer world creates bigger and more damaging hailstones, study says<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tests of a new desalination technology in a reservoir near Westlake Village were a success.
