The desalination plant was expensive to build, not to operate. It has a long term contract.
I also miss the drought.
Between the rain and China trade war, almonds are now $4.50/lb at Costco. They were $7 or 8 a few years ago. Walnuts are also now very cheap. Hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and cashews have gone way up. Pecans are flat.
I notice because I spend about $600 a year on nuts since about 2010.
