Opinion: Action on recycled water would ensure our future
The Coastside community is facing several problems today: traffic congestion, a housing shortage and the impact of droughts on our water supply. Of these three, only the future prospect of annual water shortages due to the increasing frequency of droughts is an existential threat to life here. Housing without a reliable safe potable water supply is uninhabitable. If we do not solve the water reserve problem created by droughts, some homes here will have to be abandoned.
