📰 News we're reading

• West Palm needs more tap water. Its pricey plan to get it. (palmbeachpost.com) — West Palm Beach is planning a massive new desalination plant and deep wells to supplement its vulnerable surface water system and meet growing demand. The project, estimated at $350–$750 million and targeted for completion around 2031, would likely mean higher water rates but promises a more reliable supply for city, Palm Beach, and South Palm Beach residents.
