San Diego may scale back its ambitious Pure Water sewage-purification plans — or scrap some entirely
With San Diego more than half done with the first phase of its Pure Water sewage recycling system, city officials say they are considering major changes to how they will handle the second, larger phase. … Plans for the second phase, which were mostly put in place 13 years ago, could change significantly based on new state regulations and new information about how much purified water the city is projected to need. … But the city could abandon a plan to build the phase two purification plant on a vacant 17-acre site in Mission Valley, and plans to store purified water from that plant in either Lake Murray or the San Vicente Reservoir.
