New law suit filed to stop lining of All-American canal:
Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on May 10, 2007 at 3:19 pmThis, from KPBS in San Diego:
Water officials want to line a 23-mile stretch of the irrigation canal with concrete to block leaks and save water. The San Diego County Water Authority says lining the canal will save enough water to meet the needs of half-a-million people each year for more than a century. Lawsuits challenging the plan were dismissed last month. But a new lawsuit now seeks to stop the project.
The lawsuit is not expected to delay the start of construction, set to begin next month.
