Since 1986 the Island Water Association has published the IWA Pipeline 4 times a year. Very informative, and very well-written, it has articles on a variety of water-related issues along with a complete history of the development of the plant. The article (below) on the comparison of RO-treated water with bottled water is from the Spring 1997 issue -- Volume 20, Issue 1.

Another highly rcommended article is "High-Tech=Low(er) Cost Water" which explains how they have been able to not increase their rates for over five years due to the vigilance and enterprise of their 30 employees and with the help of the membrane manufacturer, Dow Chemical/FilmTec (Spring 1998 issue). Every article in every issue since 1986 is available for viewing at http://www.islandwater.com/pipelin.htm
