Is seawater a safe source of drinking water?
Yes. Seawater desalination produces some of the highest quality drinking water in the world. This project has established water quality requirements that meet or surpass state and federal drinking water standards. The goal is to provide the participants with high-quality water that requires little, if any, additional treatment before being blended with other water supplies. Phase 2 of the project will include pilot testing of treatment processes to ensure that the established water quality requirements will be met.
