Has Water World skulduggery reached new and alarming lows?
San Diego officials are accusing their brethren in Orange andLos Angeles counties of forming a “Secret Society” and running a “shadow government” that aims to hike water rates ever higher and control machinations of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California – the largest and most powerful water supplier in America.
Brandishing a bulging binder with hundreds of pages of internal emails between water officials and their pricey consultants, theSan Diego County Water Authority pointed the finger at theMunicipal Water District of Orange County as a ringleader of this Secret Society, and said that the cities of Anaheim andSanta Ana are among the puppet masters pulling MWD’s strings.
That binder, filled with documents obtained under the California Public Records Act, has “revealed that those agencies joined together in a secret shadow government to control water rates and other decisions at California’s largest public water agency and to discriminate against the San Diego County Water Authority and its ratepayers,” said an emailed statement that quickly piqued our interest here at The Watchdog.
