CRMWD Eyes Water Export and Ward County Desalination Plan
CRMWD plans to authorize water export with Morton noting a desalination plant in Ward County as a cheaper nearby option if water quality remains the same or worsens. The district currently imposes some restrictions on Odessa but keeps them as a precaution for future limits. Morton called the project interesting and exciting, though slower than hoped.
