· KRGV (NBC 5)
RGV-Desal is preparing to apply for a permit to construct a $1 billion desalination plant on South Padre Island. The facility aims to convert salt water from the Gulf into 50 million gallons of clean drinking water daily for the Rio Grande Valley. Douglas Allison, Managing Member of US Desalination, emphasized the project's environmental sustainability and its successful implementation worldwide over the decades. The project is privately funded, and RGV-Desal has already acquired land in northern South Padre Island for the plant, with construction potentially beginning within two years.
