South Bay Water Affordability Program Offers Relief As Cost of Living Rises

As the cost of living rises from gasoline to groceries, some South Bay residents say even small savings can make a difference.

Laura and Roberto Leggs of Chula Vista recently enrolled in the Sweetwater Authority’s Water Affordability Program, which provides monthly bill credits to income-eligible customers and seniors. The couple said the savings have helped ease the strain of higher prices for essentials, like gas, food and medication.
