The Carmel Pine Cone is the last paper I expected to break the media silence and publish information about the “Right-Sized” Desal Solution by our Water Management District.<\/a>
\n
\nBu there it is buried in a June 10 letter to the editor by this year’s Water Management District’s Chairman Bob Brower mentioning the agency’s top water supply projects<\/a> —<\/p>\n

“2. A new smaller desal project… [that would provide] 2,000 acre feet annually.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"EIR<\/a>

EIR - Genuine Water Solution<\/p><\/div>
\nOf course that’s the extremely conservative version of the Water Management District’s “Right-Sized” desal Solution<\/a>; at a reasonable cost it can upsized to ~6,000 acre feet – solving our water supply problem (along with the other projects mentioned in the letter – the ~2,000 acre foot injection recovery at Fort Ord).
\n
\nMiller seems to endorse this and other Water District projects in his editorial !<\/p>\n

Not kidding.<\/p>\n

Which makes me wonder — did the Carmel Pine Cone’s Paul Miller have a Stroke? <\/p>\n

How else can you explain Miller breaking the media log-jam and allowing his newspaper to mention the project<\/a> that all major local media have avoided for 9 years. (The same project for which the Herald maintains an official news Blackout.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The project HOPE has been essentially single-handedly educating the public about – since 2003 (smaller, lower water rates, cheaper to build, faster to build, not run by the Marina Coast “Keystone Cops” – instead controlled by Peninsula voters etc.<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If The Pine Cone had been on board back then perhaps we could have been drinking water out of that solution in 2007 – 4 years ago. <\/p>\n

The “Right-Sized” Desal Solution by our Water Management District already has an Administrative Draft EIR and hydrogeological studies.<\/a> (The PUC approved Regional Desal has no such studies.)<\/p>\n

Now that the outrageously expensive and already mismanaged Regional Desal is Imploding<\/a>, if Miller and Brower want run with the “Right-Sized” solution <\/a>even take credit for this project – lets let them ;-) because they are helping now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
