Desalting Plant on Isle Proposed by Water District
Bechtel estimates a nuclear fueled desalting plant on an 80 acre man made island off Bolsa Chica would cost 357 million dollars and serve a quarter of a million people. Island would be connected by a two lane causeway and cost about 30 million less than a land site on Irvine Ranch. The study was funded by the water district Office of Saline Water and the Atomic Energy Commission and will be presented to Metropolitan's board in January.
