On June 5, the San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission will host an in-person hearing in which the Fallbook PUD and Rainbow MWD wholesaler reorganization proposal will be discussed. The proposal seeks to transfer wholesale water service from the San Diego County Water Authority to the Eastern Municipal Water District. This is expected to save Rainbow and Fallbrook PUD $7.6 million dollars per year. SDCWA has proposed raising rates 14% this year.
Growers in the Rainbow and Fallbrook regions are encouraged to attend the LAFCO hearing in person. If you are unable to attend in person, growers are encouraged to submit written comment supporting LAFCO staff recommendation Option One: "Approving Proposal with Standard Conditions".
Additional information can be found in the San Diego LAFC list of current notices.
