VIDEO: Desalination Plants, Waste Water Recharge Are Topics of County Water Supply Study
Tags: cape may, Cape May County, Middle Township
CREST HAVEN –– Water experts foresee more desalination plants and possibly wastewater recharge in this county’s future.
Local civic organizations got a sneak peek at the county water supply study, a cooperative effort between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the state Department of Environmental Protection that’s been underway for the past four years.
Pierre Lacombe, a USGS hydrologist, presented the several-hundred page study to the Coalition of Civic Associations (COCA) at its Nov. 1 meeting.
The study outlined the county’s water situation and offered several scenarios for battling its biggest problem, saltwater intrusion. The problems were more severe in the southern part of the county so that’s where most of the changes will be necessary, Lacombe said.
See the Nov. 7 print edition of the Herald for the complete story.
