Metropolitan Water District allocation rises to 35%, ensuring sufficient water supply for 2025
The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California will receive an increased allocation of 35 percent from the California Department of Water Resources this year, according to a report by Cynthia Kurtz, Pasadena’s representative on the MWD Board. The City of Pasadena imports about 60% of its water from the MWD. Kurtz will present detailed information about the water supply outlook during a meeting of the Pasadena Municipal Services Committee on Tuesday, where she will deliver her first quarterly update to the Committee. … Despite the Colorado River Aqueduct currently being shut down for annual inspection and maintenance, the MWD expects to receive its normal supply of Colorado River water this year due to reserves stored in Lake Mead.
