About half the Sycuan Indian tribe relies heavily on a single groundwater well for water.

The whole tribe now wants access to the same water most San Diegans enjoy – Colorado River water, Northern California water and desalinated Pacific Ocean water.

The San Diego County Water Authority files its fourth lawsuit against LA-based Metropolitan Water District.

The San Diego County Water Authority announced Wednesday they would be filing another lawsuit over rates charged by the Metropolitan Water District, a Los Angeles-based water wholesaler.
