OceanWell plans offshore tests near Malibu to convert seawater to drinking water using deep-sea pods.
Company says offshore pods could use up to 40% less electricity than traditional coastal plants.
Las Virgenes Municipal Water District piloted a 9-month test with a 12-foot cylinder in a reservoir in 2025.
If proven viable, the Water Farm No. 1 would anchor dozens of 40-foot pods offshore.
The project would require permits from multiple agencies and could bypass some lease requirements.
Initial cost estimates for the offshore water range from $2,000 to $3,000 per acre-foot.
Local agencies are forming a new regional authority to coordinate supply and infrastructure planning.
Environmental advocates remain cautious about desalination despite potential benefits.
The plan would potentially reduce environmental footprint by releasing less concentrated brine.
