For years, leaders of Rainbow and Fallbrook’s Municipal Water District have been researching an alternative source of water because they say the rate hikes from San Diego County Water Authority were having a huge fit on the farmers who live in the North County communities.
For years, leaders of Rainbow and Fallbrook's Municipal Water District have been researching an alternative source of water because they say the rate hikes from San Diego County Water Authority were having a huge fit on the farmers who live in the North County communities.
The two communities proposed the idea to get their water from a source in Riverside County instead - a move that they say would save the towns more than $7 million per year. They took their proposal to LAFCO, the San Diego County Local Agency Formation, which must approve changes to governmental agency boundaries. LAFCO approved the proposal, with a 5-year detachment fee for the two towns, and the idea was then certified to be on a Nov.
On Tuesday the San Diego County Board of Supervisors will be voting on whether or not they will support the Assembly Bill. The state legislature is set to vote on the bill within the next three weeks. If they approve the bill and Governor Newsom signs it into law, another election would be called to decide the potential detachment.
