Chula Vista, Calif. – Sweetwater Authority (Authority) customers will not see a rate increase in the new fiscal year. The Authority’s Governing Board (Board) approved the budget on June 14, 2017. In order to achieve a zero percent rate increase, the Authority used a variety of strategies, including absorbing increased chemical and energy costs, not funding some personnel positions and deferring capital projects in the short-term. The budget also reflects return on the investment from expansion of the Richard A. Reynolds Groundwater Desalination Facility, from 5 million gallons per day to 10 million gallons per day, and installation of 3,276 ground-mounted solar PV panels and 264 roof-mounted solar PV panels.

Chula Vista, Calif. –  This morning, state and local officials joined together with Sweetwater Authority (Authority) to celebrate the completion of construction on the Richard A. Reynolds Groundwater Desalination Facility Phase 2 Expansion project.
