What happened
The San Diego City Council discussed adopting a new water rate structure, which would transition the city to a unitary rate system where all customers pay the same amount per gallon regardless of consumption or building type. Joe LaCava proposed delaying the vote on the proposal.

Why it matters
The proposed unitary rate structure is intended to bring the City of San Diego into compliance with Proposition 218, a 1996 voter initiative. Under the new structure, bills for apartment buildings would be lowered, while most single-family homes would see increased costs.
