Plans for a privately constructed desalination plant, scheduled to be operational by 2011, are under way in Carlsbad at the Encina Power Station. In addition, the Water Authority is studying other opportunities to develop desalinated seawater as a new water supply for San Diego County. This includes conducting a feasibility study of the potential to build a seawater desalination plant along the Camp Pendleton coastline. The Water Authority’s goal is to have seawater desalination provide 10 percent of the region’s water supply by 2020.
