Stupid uninformed cartoon intended at disinformation that most people do not in fact understand. Just wait if it does not rain this coming Winter and Desal is just about all that is left! Let’s see who is complaining. In the meantime, it is working just fine today and will continue to do so for as long as we need it. How long are we going to need Water???
I am not sure how this cartoon can get published 4 years after construction has been completed. The new Desal Plant took less than 2 years to build and has been producing 3,000,000 gallons of drinking water a day since 2017.
(Almost the) Lamest cartoon ever. I can see why this guy doesn’t have a job at the simpsons
The “project” has been completed twice. The first time it was not needed and deconstructed. The second time it is producing water (at a very expensive cost) but wasn’t needed either. They ignored recycling/reuse options (that Montecito Water District is now investigating) which are much less costly. Can’t ditch the second system easily however as the contractors have a very long term contract that requires us to pay them even if we don’t need the water. The city Public Works people have consistently screwed up on this issue but probably under duress from the then city manager and our elected reps.
I don’t get it
One of the best yet. LOL
It’s poking fun at the fact that our tax dollars have pour millions into a project that started 35 years ago and it’s still going on. So why hurry up and complete it?
Ha! Maybe in another 35 years it’ll finally be up and running?
Gimli, the guys actually working on site aren’t the problem – it’s the elected leaders, voters, and public works people who run the show ultimately. See RHS’s comment above.
