East County Advanced Water Purification leaders say the city of San Diego is backing out of a signed deal.
“And now, [the city of San Diego is] saying, ‘No, we changed our mind,’ ” Carlisle said through gritted teeth. “Very frustrated. Kind of mind-boggling.”
Goldstone argued that portions of the agreement violate state law, saying that the city's participation in the project would violate Proposition 218, which prohibits the city for paying for things that don't benefit the city’s ratepayers. Goldstone said the parties still need to figure out where the leftover waste, known as residuals, will go if the new pipeline isn’t available. Goldstone said that the current agreement to pump it into San Diego’s future water recycling project would contaminate San Diego’s water supply.
Both officials said litigation could delay construction. However, Carlisle was confident the agreement signed 18 months ago would hold up in court.Carlisle said he wished the city of San Diego stuck with the deal the two sides signed.
