Opinion: You can have a new showerhead, but you can’t have any new water
Would it surprise you to know that California could have all the water anybody could want, but various government officials refuse to take the actions that would provide it?

The staff recommended that the commissioners vote to kill the project. Poseidon Water’s project was first proposed in 1998.
