Encinitas, Calif. — Olivenhain Municipal Water District was awarded $650,000 in grant funding from California’s Department of Water Resources (DWR) to continue exploring the feasibility of brackish groundwater desalination in the San Dieguito Valley.
In an effort to boost water supply in the wake of the state’s historic, five‐year drought, DWR awarded Proposition 1 funding to nine projects throughout California.
