In addition, there are two competing desalination measures on the ballot, one put forward by a group of residents opposed to the proposed desalination plant and one by the water district. The critics of the plant argue that voters should have a say. The district says the measure opponents have put on the November ballot would prohibit the district from even considering ways to address water needs without it going to the voters.
