RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CARLSBAD
DESALINIZATIONOPLANTICONSTRUCTION
-CITY
OF
It is hereby resolved that the City of Carlsbad strongly
opposes the construction of a Desalinization Plant within its City
limits as proposed by the City of San Diego, the San Diego Gas and
Electric Company and the Office of Saline Water, Department of the
Interior.
According to the interim report prepared by Kaiser Engineerinc
this facility would be located on land owned by the San Diego Gas an(
Electric Company, south of proposed Unit No. 5, in the Encina Power
Complex, in the City of Carlsbad. At this Plant it is proposed to
de -salt sea water and produce fresh grater in the amount of 40 mgd,
using steam purchased from San Diego Gas and Electric, pump the
product to Squires Dam, (a facility owned by Carlsbad
area taxpayers) and from there send it to the City of San Diego for
their exclusive use. The cost of the Plant and the aistribution
system is estimated at $75,000 000. Operation and maintenance cost
will amount to approximately4 ,-2 O,d' annually.
The City of Carlsbad opposes this project for the following
reasons:
1. The parcel of land proposed for use is in an area zoned
P-U (Public Utility), and each major facility constructed therein
must be covered by a specific plan approved by the Carlsbad Col,ncil
r
and Planning Commission. No such approval has been requested or
granted and no effort has been made by the parties involved, except
for San Diego Gas and Electric Company, to ascertain the views of
either the elected or appointed officials of the City of Carlsbad.
2. The proposed plant would impose many disadvantages upon
L
the community of Carlsbad without compensatory advantages.

3. Carlsbad residents living in close proximity (Terramar
area) would be faced with the strong probability of increased air,
water, noise and visual pollution and consequent depreciation of
property values.
4, The City could be required to provide city services to
the facility but would obtain no taxes, compensation, or benefits
in return, and none have been offered.
5. The project is uneconomical and cannot be justified on
any ration,l fiscal basis. The estimated cost of $320 per acre-foot
is approximately five times the cost of potable water being purchased
currently by the City of Carlsbad. No entity in the County o:f
San Diego could afford water at this price.
6. The projected use of fossil fuel (fuel oil) for the
purpose of desalinization is contrary to the public and national
interests. All available studies indicate that the only economically
sound energy source which should be used for desalinization purposes
is atomic power generated by breeder -reactors, a procedure which
is not practicably available for the present.
