It includes securing independent water transfers from the Colorado River, increasing regional water-use efficiency and developing local sources such as groundwater, surface water and recycled water. Completion of the Carlsbad project will put the Water Authority on pace for meeting its diversification goals for 2020. Poseidon Water is developing the plant and pipeline with joint-venture contractor Kiewit Shea Desalination. The project will deliver up to 50 million gallons a day of drought-proof, highly reliable water that will become a core, day-to-day resource for the region. It is projected to meet 7 percent of San Diego County's demand in 2020, In addition, the reverse-osmosis plant will make the region's water supplies more reliable by reducing dependence on imported water. About the Speaker: Mr. Lauria has more than 30 years of successful experience in the direction and management of technical, marketing, engineering and financial elements within the water/wastewater business segment for Malcolm Pirnie and subsequently ARCADIS U.S., Inc.
