The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is mounting a major PR campaign in San Diego County – including an Oct.3 commentary in the SDBJ – based on its assertion that “we need California WaterFix” to ensure a reliable water supply for Southern California. This advocacy effort is being conducted by MWD staff and consultants even though MWD’s Board of Directors has not voted on whether to support the WaterFix, a proposal by the state to address challenges in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta at the cost of at least $ 17 billion.
