Since 2003, five of the Bay Area’s major water agencies – the Contra Costa Water District, the East Bay Municipal Utility District, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Santa Clara Valley Water District and Zone 7 Water Agency — have been exploring the potential for a joint regional desalination project that could provide an additional water source, diversify the area’s water supply, and foster long-term regional sustainability.

A public meeting and open house to learn about this project is being held on May 29th at 6 pm. Information will include the results of studies conducted by the agencies, what the next steps in the project are and how you can become involved.

A presentation and question and answer period will be followed by an Open House featuring agency representatives who can address any particular questions or concerns:
