Are there any potential versions of a canal that would make water available to far estern San Diego County?

The Coachella – All American Canal system gravity flows water to a point on the earth just east of Palm Springs. From there a pipeline parallel to the MWD Colorado River Aqueduct and San Diego Pipelines Nos. 1 to 6 could be built to gravity flow water all the way to San Diego.

One of the routes under study by the San Diego County Water Authority includes a tunnel through the mountains to San Diego – no pumping over the mountains.

Hypothetically, MWD’s San Diego Pipelines Nos. 1 to 6 could end up being purchased by San Diego County Water Authority.

Look pal, I worked for the water agency that delivers water to San Diego for 20 years. Please don’t get on your high horse of knowledge superiority on something you don’t know anything about.

Metropolitan’s Colorado River Aqueduct absurdly will soon be subjected to cap-and-trade taxes even though it uses clean hydropower to pump water over the mountains to thirsty Southern California cities. Should San Diego build a new canal to convey water to San Diego by gravity flow, it would not be subject to such taxes. Taxation thus might end as a determining factor in whether San Diego builds its own canal.
