Based on the current Water Master Plan, the Los Angeles District of the Army Corps of Engineers entered into a partnership agreement with the Cambria Community Services District to prepare design and provide construction assistance for a new seawater desalination facility to produce 602 acre feet of potable water for the Cambria community over six dry months from May 1st through October 31st. The desalination facility would be located next to the existing Cambria Wastewater Treatment Plant and would be supplied with raw seawater by a subterranean seawater intake located in the Santa Rosa Creek paleo channel at the Shamel Beach area.
