March 1, 2024 – The San Diego County Water Authority and the Moulton Niguel Water District are exploring a potential transfer of drought-resilient water supplies to South Orange County, according to a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both agencies.
The MOU creates a three-year window for discussions expected to center on the Water Authority transferring water – including supplies from the Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant – to Moulton Niguel. The district serves more than 170,000 customers from Laguna Niguel to San Juan Capistrano. How and when that could happen will be the subject of talks between agency leaders. This marks the second time in recent months the Water Authority has considered a water deal to combat increasing water rates for San Diegans while providing greater supply reliability for the broader Southern California region. A similar transaction was completed in December with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Imperial Irrigation District. That agreement is saving the Water Authority between $15 million and $20 million while helping to raise the level of Lake Mead. |
