City of San Diego's Water Crisis

About 90% of San Diego's water supply is imported. In 2006, the City completed a Water Reuse Study which examines different alternatives for using more recycled water. The City Attorney is urging the public to read the report to become better informed about this issue. San Diegans will be asked to make some hard decisions in the very near future about how to maintain our water supply.
