Fallbrook and Rainbow have filed applications with the San Diego County Local Agency Formation Commission to part ways with the San Diego County Water Authority and begin purchasing from the Eastern Municipal Water District to lower costs for residents.

FPUD and RMWD General Managers on water supply switch:
“Let us be clear: we’ve studied this issue exhaustively – and so have others – and we can say without question that Eastern has the wherewithal to meet our water needs."

[Ratepayers for Water Choice @H2OforSDC]

"It gets worse. A study this year by https://t.co/uA2EH7qOdW found San Diego’s water rates were among the highest in the nation."
"...a typical San Diego household spends more than twice the national average on water."

Just in time for the peak of wildfire season, San Diego County’s first heli-hydrant is now accessible to the region’s fleet of fire-fighting helicopters to help combat wildfires.

Just like a fire hydrant makes it easy for a firetruck to get water, the heli-hydrant makes it easier for firefighting helicopters to get water in the North County mountains. https://t.co/A7a1tZUj8N

Thanks to all who came out to see the new aerial water supply system built in a partnership between @RainbowMWD , @NorthCountyFire , and @CALFIRESANDIEGO . A great example of three public agencies working together to serve their community!

[Corey Uhden @CACoreyU]

Thank you @CALFIRESANDIEGO @NorthCountyFire and @RainbowMWD for the demonstration of the Rapid Aerial Water Supply Heli-Hydrant in Fallbrook. The first rapid-supply tank of its kind in @SanDiegoCounty, we are thrilled to showcase innovative technology to fight wildfires in CA.

I had fun shooting my @nbcsandiego story about an important new tool to fight wildfires. #NBC7 at 4:30 and 6:00. @CALFIRESANDIEGO @NorthCountyFire @RainbowMWD

Awesome to see the initial test of our County's first Heli-Hydrant - thank you @NorthCountyFire & @CALFIRESANDIEGO for your partnership

[Tom Kennedy @IAmTomzo]

Here is a 3 min video of the first actual aircraft test of @RainbowMWD 's first in the County Heli-Hydrant (with partners @NorthCountyFire & @CALFIRESANDIEGO). Still work to do but it is ready to go now to protect our region for wildfires. https://t.co/kRckZsY36u

Our Heli Hydrant will be able to supply @NorthCountyFire and @CALFIRESANDIEGO 2,700 gallons of water every few minutes during emergencies. #SmarterTogether

[Tom Kennedy @IAmTomzo]

Working with @NorthCountyFire and @CALFIRESANDIEGO, the first heli hydrant in the County is being built by @RainbowMWD. The small tank in the background will be filled on command by helo pilots to provide rapid access to clean firefighting water. Stay tuned -should be done soon!

Largely due to water rate increases, San Diego County farmers abandoned an estimated 1 MILLION avocado & citrus trees over the past 2 decades. Now, @fallbrookwater & @RainbowMWD have a plan to lower their wholesale rates by switching water suppliers.
