San Diego plans to recycle purified water for its residents. San Diego cannot afford to use water just once, especially in the current drought. The 20-year plan is supposedly environmentally sustainable and uses proven technology. The project is expensive however and will be paid for through “a mix of state and federal grants, and rate increases on consumers.”

The current California drought is affecting cities through out the state. This plan for San Diego seems to be a solution to drinking water problems. The recycled water could account for 30 percent of the cities drinking water needs.
