Thanks for the correction, it's actually $0.49 USD m^3.

Thanks for the correction, it's actually $0.49 USD m^3. http://www.edie.net/news/3/Black--Veatch-Designed-Desalinati... Energy Consumption is 4.2kWhr/m3 - and that was in 2006. Presumably technology is improving. With reasonable conservation efforts (low flush toilets, low-flow showers, water efficient washing machine and dish washer) the average individual needs 200 liters a day, which, with desalination, would cost $0.10/day/person or $3/month to supply, (not including transportation - which isn't too expensive for coastal cities).
