Water District imposes surcharges for high use
The Metropolitan Water District votes to charge double for water used above 1 percent of last year by member cities and districts, with a Friday start. Long Beach and others face higher rates unless voluntary saving measures succeed as heat drives up demand. An acre foot is 325,851 gallons. The surge follows a 40 percent surge in March consumption and a trend of warmer, drier weather.
