San Diego County Water Authority files lawsuit against 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.

According to the Water Authority’s complain in Los Angeles Superior Court, they said the rate structure approved by the MWD board for 2017 and 2018 used the same methodology as costs from 2011-14, which were previously ruled illegal by a Superior Court judge.
