San Diego County’s water agency is selling some of its water to another Southern California agency to help limit increasingly high water costs for 3.3 million people. The San Diego County Water Authority will transfer at least 10,000 acre-feet of water per year over the next 21 years, enough for about 30,000 typical households. The San Diego County agency has invested heavily to get more water in recent decades. These actions have brought San Diego County plentiful water — also some of the most expensive in the state. The San Diego County Water Authority delivers water to 22 cities and other agencies.
