Rep. Mike Levin introduced a bill to help pay for desalination systems and ensure they're environmentally friendly.
Desalination projects in the San Diego area could get millions in federal funding under a bill Rep. Mike Levin introduced Tuesday.would provide $260 million over five years for desalination projects across the country, including Oceanside’s Mission Basin Groundwater Purification Facility, which converts brackish flows into potable water, said Levin .
. The House of Representatives passed a $715-billion package of transportation and water funding last month, and the Senate is debating a roughly $1-trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. It also sets criteria for funding to make sure projects comply with state environmental laws and are compatible with local ecosystems.
The systems also must be designed to reduce effects on marine life and avoid harming coastal wildlife.A common way desalination produces freshwater is by forcing saltwater through reverse osmosis filters that remove salts, other minerals and bacteria. The method has been used as a supplemental water resource in the San Diego area for decades.
