Huntington Beach hopes to use Talbert Lake (now an 8 acre dry bed) as an opportunity to gather run-off water before it hits our ocean. The plan would creatively capture about 1 million gallons of urban polluted run-off water per day and the natural filtration system of the lake would cleanse the water and make it viable for possible irrigation use.
Ideally, mother nature helps this process as debris is screened at the channel diversion, shallow water areas allow UV rays to kill bacteria, microbes help turn heavy metals into insoluble deposit that gets trapped into peat and then… clean water flows into the lake.
I’m sure the plan will be checked carefully, especially because it can cost about $5.5 million to take on this project, but the benefits include 1 million gallons of less than desirable water not flowing into our ocean every day…and that is a big deal!
Thank you for making me Your Orange County Real Estate Connection.
Best regards.
