CWA vote entitlement percentage up for Otay, Lakeside, down for Padre Dam, Helix

The weighted vote at 2023 San Diego County Water Authority board meetings will increase for the Otay Water District and the Lakeside Water District but will Municipal Water District.

The allocations include 6.642 percent for Helix, 6.102 percent for Otay, 2.693 percent for Padre Dam, and 0.742 percent for Lakeside.

The member vote entitlement is calculated based on the total cumulative financial contribution from each agency since the CWA was formed in 1944. The contribution amount includes all taxes, assessments, fees, and charges paid to or on behalf of the CWA by property located within the member agency’s boundary by the June 30 end of the previous fiscal year. The cost of water treatment is not included in the total financial contribution, but the totals include standby charges, capacity charges, infrastructure access charges, readiness-to-serve charges, connection and maintenance fees, and annexation fees as well as charges for water delivered and sold to CWA member agencies.

The total cumulative financial contribution of all 24 CWA member agencies was $16,166,693,662 for the period ending June 30, 2022. The Fiscal Year 2020-21 cumulative total was $15,420,418,340.
