Due to the drought conditions, the East Bay Municipal Utility District which supplies water for 1.3 million customers in the Bay Area, we just learned has bought $8 million worth of water from the Sacramento River. This could result in a surcharge for their customers.
This purchase will give them approximately 16,000 acre feet more water, which is good for about one month. EBMUD owns Pardee Reservoir and says they are paying for this from monies received from a sale of property in Castro Valley.
