The San Diego County Water Authority said it will continue efforts to sell water to other regions of the state thanks to robust local supplies.

The authority released a draft of its Urban Water Management Plan on Thursday that forecasts ample supply through 2050, even if there are multiple dry years.

    “Thanks to the water authority’s water supply investments, San Diego County is well positioned to meet  future water demands with reliable supplies,” said Director of Water Resources Jeff Stephenson.

    Over more than three decades, the authority has invested in aqueducts, dams and desalination to ensure that San Diego County has a reliable supply. At the same time, San Diego and other cities are investing in water recycling.

    As a result, the authority said it is pursuing water transfer agreements with agencies outside of the San  Diego region. Those agreements could help the authority avoid future rate increases.

    “We are continuing to work with partners across Southern  California and the Southwest to support supply reliability, while maintaining the water supply that San  Diego County residents and businesses depend on,” Stephenson said. 

    The long-range water plan, which is required by the state, forecasts local demand to  remain nearly flat through 2050.  

    A public hearing on the plan is scheduled for April 23 and the plan must be submitted to the state by July 1.

    The authority provides water to agencies serving 3.3 million residents of San Diego County.
