Criteria for tariff setting Water tariffs are set based on a number of formal criteria defined by law, as well as informal criteria. [1]
A cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.98 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or one tonne.At 0 °C, the freezing point of water, a cubic metre of water has slightly less mass, 999.972 kilograms.
California water officials have estimated that the total costs of drinking water solutions for communities statewide amount to $11.5 billion over the next five years.
Desalination, which produces usable water from saline water, has a higher LCW than processing groundwater or surface water. A 2020 study found that advances in decarbonization would reduce the levelized cost of water produced via desalination from €2.4 per cubic meter in 2015 (US$2.84) to €1.05 per cubic meter in 2050 (US$1.24).

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (the largest entitlement holder) pays $298 per acre-foot ($241 per 1,000 m 3). This basically means that cities are subsidizing the cost of farm water, even though the cities also provided primary funding for the construction of the SWP. [69]
