San Diegans Owe a Desal Company $35 million for Unmade Water

San Diegans owe a privately-owned desalination plant over $35 million for water the company couldn’t make.

That water will only grow more expensive the longer the San Diego County Water Authority waits to buy it. And the tab came due as the region frets over ever-growing water prices and debates whether it even needs this water at all.
