Pacific Grove Holds Special Meeting Saturday, Recommends Moss Landing Desalination Project

Posted: Updated:

PACIFIC GROVE, Calif- The city will hold a special meeting Saturday morning at 9 a.m. to discuss the water woes of the Central Coast. The council is expected to recommend the People's Desal Project in Moss Landing to Cal-AM. 

The City is actively involved in the prospective partnership with Moss Landing Commercial Ventures for the People's Desal Project Project.

Cal-Am submitted their own desalination project to the California Public Utilities Commission in April. However Administrative Law Judge Gary Weatherford, acting on behalf of the Commission, ruled on August 29 that:

"California-American Water Company (Cal-Am) is directed to seriously consider in good faith any public agency proposal for direct participation in the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) that is feasible and sufficiently developed to allow implemen-tation in a timely manner and that is made by October 1, 2012. Cal-Am shall file a compliance progress report on the status of any such deliberations by October 26, 2012."

Under that ruling Pacific Grove is filling their recommendation for the People's Desal Project.

When: September 29, 2012 
Where: City Council Chambers, 300 Forest Avenue
