Cheaper Water Ahead? San Diego County Water Authority Inks Landmark Water Deal With Riverside County.

The San Diego County Water Authority has inked its first deal to sell excess water to other communities in Southern California, a landmark overhaul of the water authority’s business model that’s long been promised by top officials.

The water authority’s new agreement to sell water to the Western Municipal Water District in Riverside County will bring in $100 million in new revenue for the San Diego region’s financially strapped water system over the next five years.
