Central Basin Municipal Water District

Central Basin Municipal Water District

Carson, CA: (May-17-07) The West Basin Municipal Water District filed suit against the Central Basin Municipal Water District , its former partner, over West Basin's decision to end the two Districts' partnership of more than 15 years, effective July 1, 2006. The two Districts began operating together in 1990, when they made the decision to combine staff, consolidate their headquarters and operate jointly in an effort to streamline operations and reduce costs. The suit addressed Central Basin's key concerns, including bookkeeping discrepancies related to accounting of employee time, payment of employee vacation and sick leave, and bond repayment, and confirms Central Basin as the property owner of the building both agencies continue to occupy in Carson, CA. Central Basin is a public agency that wholesales imported water to cities, mutual water companies, investor-owned utilities and private companies in Southeast LA County, serving a population of 2 million. In addition, Central Basin provides the region with recycled water for municipal, commercial and industrial uses. In a settlement reached, West Basin has agreed to pay Central Basin $2.4 million for the title to the building. Once building ownership is transferred, Central Basin expects to relocate to its new headquarters in Commerce, CA, by the end of the year. [DIGITAL50: PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT]
