The Goleta Water District’s newly renovated Corona del Mar Water Treatment Plant was presented with two checks for $290,000 by Lynn Scarlett, deputy secretary of the federal Department of the Interior, on 10/26. Goleta water customers funded the rest of the $22 million renovation. A number of new and more efficient systems were added, and the district is hoping the plant will meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “gold” standards.
