Local Water Desalination

Local Groundwater
SelfReliance_DesalterBrackish groundwater contains more salt and other minerals than are allowed in drinking water. Since this salty groundwater has a lower saline content than ocean water, it is easier to remove the salt. Groundwater desalination is more economical than importing water and is another way for Camrosa to extend local water supplies and improve local groundwater supply dependability.

Camrosa is investigating a number of near-term opportunities for construction of a reverse osmosis desalination plant that will process brackish water for potable use.
Recycled Water
Always with an eye towards the future, Camrosa intends to eventually build a second Desalination Plant in order to reduce the saline content of recycled water. Since some agricultural plants require water with a lower salt content, the second Desalination Plant will allow Camrosa to extend recycled water use for even more irrigation purposes, further fulfilling our goal of developing self-reliance.
