MWD allotment plan goes forward
- Share via
As feared by some member cities of the Metropolitan Water District, a panel of the district’s board of directors did little at a Monday meeting to alter a proposed plan that critics contend would penalize older, poorer communities with revamped water allocations and severe fees if the communities used more water than allotted.
The full board is expected to consider the plan Feb. 12.
“We have some concerns about the impact this plan will ultimately have on our ratepayers,” said Ryan Alsop, spokesman for the Long Beach Water Department. “I don’t think we expected any changes. It’s an issue we’re ultimately going to lose on.”
