From the Glendale News Press:

Foothill water officials on Tuesday called for a significant overhaul of the way consumers are billed in order to cope with major price increases for imported water. Customers can also expect to see higher bills as the Crescenta Valley Water District passes on at least a portion of the cost of more expensive water imports to residents, officials said.

The water district’s Board of Directors on Tuesday heard the bleak assessment as it worked to craft a new budget strategy for the upcoming fiscal year and beyond.

About 50% to 60% of the district’s water comes from local sources including wells and the Pickens Canyon tunnel. The rest is imported from the Foothill Metropolitan Water District, which acts as an intermediary to the larger Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
