CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) — One of San Diego County’s largest sources of locally produced drinking water is closely monitoring the impact the oil spill off the coast of Orange County could have in the area.
The Carlsbad Desalination Plant provides 10% of San Diego County’s drinking water and produces 50 million gallons of desalinated seawater a day.
The facility was developed and is managed by Poseidon Water in partnership with the San Diego County Water Authority.
