Council Postpones Vote on Desalination Plant

The facility, which would be located next to the AES power station on Pacific Coast Highway, would produce up to 50 million gallons of drinking water each day from seawater.
Council members said they wanted more information -- from city staff and from Poseidon Resources, which would build the $250-million plant -- on potential economic effects.
