Metro Water District to consider cuts in Southern California

By Take Two Staff
Published Apr 7, 2015
Water flows through the Southern California desert in the Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River Aqueduct from the Colorado River to the Los Angeles area. A pricing dispute has sharply escalated hostilities between San Diego and the agency that delivers water to much of Southern California, straining an odd partnership already defined by years of lawsuits and heated rhetoric. The San Diego County Water Authority launched a website to attack the MWD, its largest supplier, saying it wanted to lift a veil of secrecy. The site displays a trove of internal documents obtained under California’s public records law, including references to a "Secret Society" and an "anti-San Diego coalition."

Metro Water District to consider cuts in Southern California

Due to the ongoing drought and dwindling water sources, the agency that provides drinking water to nearly 19 million people in Southern California is considering rationing the supply to local districts.

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, a consortium of 26 cities and water districts, could decide at its board meeting next week to put in place the cuts, pending a vote.

The new plan would go into effect in July.

For more, Take Two is joined by Brandon Goshi, Metropolitan’s manager of water policy and strategy.
