Comment Desal and Solar (Score 1) 362
The only drought proof source of water in California is the Pacific Ocean. Build large scale solar or nuclear plants in the desert, send power to shorline or offshore desalination plants, and pipe the water back. This combined with treating sewage water dumped into the ocean is the way of the future. Some states and countries are already doing one or both, but it has to be done at a higher level of government, not each individual water entity.
I started getting similar "average usage" reports a couple of months ago from SDGE, probably for the same reason.
