The San Diego County Water Authority pays $3,400 an acre-foot for the Carlsbad water — more than double the cost of water it imports from other sources…
By comparison, the Santa Clara Valley Water District pays about $400 an acre-foot to the federal and state government for water it draws from the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Delta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Delta</span></a>.
