It’s one of the reasons that I am so adamant about it being on Galveston Island. Anybody that has a back-yard swimming pool knows about the evaporation rate, treatments needed and filtering processes required for fresh water pools, especially during the summer months. A pool of this size…well, water evaporation/consumption/treatment is a major cost issue. Obviously having to purchase all of your fresh water from the city (and chlorinating and treating it) wouldn’t be the preferred way to go. Having access to seawater solves many issues at once.
