Expensive, long-term investments put the region ahead of the conservation curve.
Dec. 29, 2014, San Diego, CA |Aerial view of the San Vicente reservoir which is set to re-open in 2015, letting anglers and water sports enthusiasts return to the lake which was closed seven years ago for raising the height of the dam more than 100 feet. San Diego County’s water world hasn’t had much good news lately, with looming budget problems and whopping rate increases.
The San Dieguito Water District faces the largest reduction of 6.9 percent. That’s followed by the Olivenhain Municipal Water District , Carlsbad Municipal Water District and the Santa Fe Irrigation District . The problem, ironically, is partially the result of local customers significantly reducing water consumption for decades. That wasn’t anticipated by the water authority, which is now awash in water that it figured on selling to member agencies to help pay off the costly investments. SDCWA is seeking to find markets to unload some of its supplies and recoup some revenue.
But the plan sets goals tailored to each agency. For instance, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power also has made significant gains in conservation and would not need to achieve its first reduction of 6 percent until 2035,to the Los Angeles Times. Other areas, such as the city of Bakersfield, would need to cut back 25 percent by 2030 to stay in compliance.
