On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors will vote on whether or not to support an assembly bill that would allow all of the ratepayers in the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to vote if Fallbrook and Rainbow will be allowed to detach from the water authority
For years, leaders of Rainbow and Fallbrook’s Municipal Water District have been researching an alternative source of water because they say the rate hikes from San Diego County Water Authority were having a huge fit on the farmers who live in the North County communities.
“In the last five years, we’ve lost a million trees and over 10,000 acres simply because the growers can no longer make a profit because of the cost of water,” said Hayden Hamilton from the Rainbow Municipal Water District.
