​“Poseidon’s voluntary commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is unprecedented,” said Poseidon Resources Vice President Peter MacLaggan. “We have taken a bold step into uncharted territory and we hope our example will help set the tone for the implementation of AB32, California’s ground-breaking Global Warming Solutions Act,” said MacLaggan.

The increase is a harsh reminder of water shortages caused by dry weather in California, drought in the Rockies and a court ruling hundreds of miles away, board members said.
Some members argued unsuccessfully that rates should rise 20%, an increase that would reflect the full cost of importing water. Next year, the MWD will take $166 million from already low reserves to balance the budget, officials said.
