As winter rains caused Monterey County’s rivers to swell past capacity and rush out to the sea, people began asking: Isn’t there a way to catch and reuse all that water? Lake El Estero will now participate. https://t.co/S864RM9iSV

All that stands between us & access to a source of clean drinking water is Cal Am's signature. They are holding our water hostage to get more rate payer money. Contact the CPUC by going to https://t.co/VToFCyfDRs and click on Add Public Comment to insist that Cal Am signs now!

SURPRISE! WE ALREADY DO.

On November 17, the Coastal Commission conditionally approved Cal Am's permit to build their desal plant. But with 20 stringent conditions to get their permit, construction won't begin for some time to come. So what's next? Sign up for updates. Link in bio.

[Monterey Peninsula Water Management District @MontereyWtrDist]

Cal Am still has to meet 20 stringent conditions before they can build. We will soon expand Pure Water Monterey to bring a safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly water supply to the Monterey Peninsula that can meet our needs for the next 30 years. Our mission continues.
