San Diego water managers say they have enough water, but they will still support the state in urging residents to cut back usage.
The San Diego County Water Authority’s Jeff Stephenson said the local region has access to enough water. Investments in a major desalination plant, a planned water purification plant in San Diego and water deals with Imperial County have secured local supplies, even as the rest of the state deals with drought.
“Despite the fact that we’ve developed the supplies and have the water available, it’s never okay to waste and we’re always moving toward becoming more efficient with that water that we do have,” Stephenson said.That is one reason the San Diego County Water Authority helps subsidize the transition to landscaping that requires less water.“The days are hotter than they used to be,” Stephenson says. “We had less rainfall this past winter.
If the state hits those water-use reduction goals, that may help hold off more onerous mandatory reductions in the future.
