The fiscal year 2020-21 budget is the result of our continuous focus on cost effectiveness and the benefit of local rainfall. Spring showers in March and April reduced customer water use and reduced the district’s imported water purchases by delivering 4,370 acre feet of local water. Our local water will reduce next year’s imported water purchases by $4.6 million.
