Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
Don't know and don't care. What I find more interesting is that the SDCWA say's that when the damages are awarded, it will be left to the local water districts, such as the city's water department, to decide how that money will be spent and how much of it, if any, would actually be used to provide refunds to water customers.— April 4, 2015 5:58 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
The last time I was in San Diego, early last December, there was actually a a pretty big water main break during the middle of the night. I seem to remember someone from the city saying something to the effect that there were still there are 80 miles of the large 16-inch cast iron pipes close some up to 100 yrs old left in San Diego and the city was trying replace those old cast iron water mains by the 2017. I remember that gave me a chuckle or 2. I guess the big difference would be that a 120 year old cast iron water main is 20 yrs closer to a failure, most likely a catastrophic one if it's in your neighbor hood. that a 100 yr old pipe.— April 4, 2015 5:52 p.m.

don bauder I was only 1 or 2 when the Original Dragnet went off the air. However, I do remember the second incarnation in the late sixties and reruns of the original (black and white ) version. Yours is a common misconception. Jack Webb's character Joe Friday wasn't a "hero", simply the protagonist. And the line was "All we want are the facts, ma'am" or sometimes "All we know are the facts ma'am."— April 4, 2015 5:28 p.m.
Aw, man, you got ginkgo biloba'ed?
don bauder, then you should know what coverage Medicare provides. If you drink wine, you should visit a Costco.— April 4, 2015 5:16 p.m.

The lawsuit is about rates and the overcharging by MWD to SDCWA for water they purchase. The DCWA also seems to think that it has legal rights to more water than MWD has been giving it for the last 10 years. However, my understanding, based on what I have read, is that the 2nd part of the trial is to determine determine the amount of damages that should be awarded and that the alleged allocation issue is a tangential one which may not be decided or even addressed in this part of the trial, forcing the SDCWA to file another separate lawsuit to deal with that allegation.— April 4, 2015 10:17 a.m.

shirleyberan I was around when Dragnet and Car 54 Where Are You? were on TV but too young to remember anything but reruns in syndication. In any case, I said movies not TV shows. Although a fan, especially of the earlier folk rock country sound of his first 3 albums, I am not related to to him. Dan Fogel is simply my chosen nom de guerre in this go round with the reader.— April 4, 2015 10 a.m.
Chargers in Inglewood? Looks like it
don bauder Pop culture reference. I doubt anyone here would think you would know of Frank Drebin. That would be like turning it up to 11.— April 4, 2015 9:51 a.m.
Aw, man, you got ginkgo biloba'ed?
don bauder Loss of memory and mental clarity are symptoms of several afflictions. Since I am nowhere near qualifying for Medicare, yours is a question I haven't even pondered. Seems it would be more something you should be concerned about.— April 4, 2015 9:47 a.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder. Not "possible". Just simply a fact. DWP is the entity that gets it's water from Owens Valley via the Los Angeles Aqueduct and does NOT supply water to San Diego. The lawsuit was filed by the San Diego Water Authority against MDW. Part 1 of the lawsuit ended with a court ruling that rates set by MWD violate several parts of California law. Part 2, which I believe will begin shortly, will determine the amount of damages the Water Authority should be awarded as a result of MWD’s breach of its contractual obligation to set legal rates.— April 4, 2015 9:39 a.m.

Don Bauder I don't believe any Owens Valley water goes to San Diego. It's mostly the Westside and I think some to the Inland Empire. San Diego's LA water connection is MWD, of which I think all of what they sell San Diego comes from the Colorado River— April 3, 2015 1:02 p.m.
