You are now in San Diego County category.

What a difference one year and one wet winter makes. Last year, 100 percent of the imported water needed to run the North County economy came from the Colorado River. These days, not a drop is coming from the Colorado. Instead, all of the imported water coming out of your tap is from Northern California. Both sources come from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and meet the highest health standards. But there is a big difference for the North County, particularly if you are a farmer or happen to make a little beer (or a lot).
