"Operational since January 2008, this state-of-the-art water purification project can produce up to 70 million gallons (265,000 cubic meters) of high-quality water every day. This is enough water to meet the needs of nearly 600,000 residents in north and central Orange County, California."
600,000 residents every day in a population of 3 million is 20%. In 2015 it's going to be 33% with a $140 million expansion. It's not too good to be believed. It's a perfect model execution of this type of system which is why this specific project is getting awards and coverage around the world left and right. But for the rest of California, it's still about the "toilet to tap" fears.
