On Election Day, California voters approved the Safe Drinking Water Bond Law of 1986. It provides $100 million to improve domestic water systems to meet dards. Now, the Mission Hills Community Services District hopes to acquire some of those funds for a desalination plant.

The organization's board of directors recently authorized district manager John Lewis to apply for low-interest loans that could be used to build the plant. Lewis cautioned that the application is only the beginning of what could be a long process. "My main task right now is to get something moving," he said. A maximum of $5 million is available; an application must be made to the state Department of Health Services, Lewis said. A grant of up to $400,000 is available for projects that are under way but have run out of money.

Lewis said the district must get on an eligibility list for the loans; the state then will place projects on a list according to need. That could mean a wait of any where from a few months to a few years, Lewis said. "I assume they will make their decisions based on the requirements of individual communities," he said. 'They'll look at places with obvious water shortages where alternatives are needed. Hi mllet par second.

There are probably other ground rules as well." Lewis said he will ask three or four companies that manufacture desalination plants for cost estimates. That cost will depend on the community's water demands, which could grow significantly if more development comes to the hills. Lewis said the services district of water a day. He said the application to the state will likely portray future water demand ranging between one million and three million gallons a day. "Depending on the progress of other projects, such as the Coastal Aqueduct, we could have a serious need for alternative water sources within the next four or five years," Lewis said.

The desalination project is attractive to the community because of a readily available source of brackish water, Unocal new oil dehydration facility near Harris Grade. Water produced during oil processing could be transferred by pipeline to a desalination plant, Lewis said. Susan Strachan of the county Resource Management Department said Unocal agreed to donate 2,000 acre feet per year of produced water if a desalination plant is built. The water donation was a permit condition for county approval of the Point Pedernales project. In addition, she said, Unocal agreed to provide $20,000 to compensate for the project's increased water needs on the district.
