Home MenuFallbrook PUD & Rainbow MWD Wholesaler Reorganizations (2020)
RO20-04 & RO20-05
San Diego LAFCO is processing two related proposals separately filed by the Rainbow Municipal Water District (RMWD) and Fallbrook Public Utility District (FPUD). These proposals request LAFCO approval for each agency to separately and concurrently detach from the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) and annex to the Eastern MWD (Riverside County) for purposes of changing wholesale water suppliers. San Diego and Riverside LAFCOs have entered an agreement assigning all related approvals for both proposals to San Diego LAFCO. San Diego LAFCO will be processing both proposals concurrently to the extent possible under statute with the intent of presenting to the Commission for consideration at a future joint-public hearing. All related inquiries – including requests to be included in future notices – should be directed to LAFCO Moderator Adam Wilson (adam@awilson-consulting.com)
