Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has
administered a discount program for farm water users in the past and decided
recently to discontinue it. The program provided farmers with a
discounted water rate in exchange for agreeing to have their supplies reduced
in times of drought. This was a good compromise as long as supplies were
generally reliable.
Water supply reliability has been changing and MWD
decided that it needed that reliability for its larger share of
customers. The program will end on January 1, 2013.
