In the US it's historically been cheaper to bring water in from elsewhere than to desalinate seawater. As water usage grows, that may eventually stop being true; Southern California in particular is nearing the point where aqueducts from water sources such as the Sacramento river and the Colorado River are effectively tapped out. There have been attempts in California, but politics have hindered a project thus far. Apparently, there is at least one operational desalinization plant in the US in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay link: http://www.tampabaywater.org/watersupply/tbdesal.aspx There is a reverse-osmosis desalination plant at Kwinana, Western Australia which was commissioned in 2005 and supplies Perth with around 20% of its water. There is a second plant under construction near Bunbury.
