Poseidon Desal plant already has a loose agreement to wholesale water to
Rancho Marguerita Water District for new tracts that would
destroy hillsides, Trabuco Oaks and open space.

YOU WILL PAY WATER BILLS FOR OTHERS
The plant is up for $200 per acre-foot subsidies from current rate payers -- you -- thanks to a
giveaway from the Met. Water Dist. to fund new tracts.
Even worse, the plant will charge est. $800 per acre foot for its water, up from $150 you pay now. Water for developers is a
hidden tax on US.

DESAL may be DANGEROUS.
IRWD testified that "super pure" water in old pipes may leech lead, other toxins from old pipes.
- AES plant has entitlements to pump up to 507 mgd.
Desal would be an "easement" to pump even if AES did not. Yet AES outfall is obsolete, should be removed.
- Current 126 mgd already causes severe problems City says 100% mortality
on phytoplankton and other small sea life which dies by "impalement" in the screen, or by "entrainment" into the pumps.
- AES outfall has huge quantity of dead, minced sea creatures
in a stream of hot water -- may be breeding ground for bacteria.
