Print Earlier this year, the city of San Diego filed a lawsuit against San Diego Gas & Electric in a dispute over the utility’s underground infrastructure obstructing the construction of a $1.4 billion water recycling project. Now, a second and separate lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a San Diego resident claiming an agreement between the city and SDG&E to help get the project started is illegal. At issue is the Pure Water San Diego Program, a project designed to reduce ocean pollution and increase the city’s water supply. The dispute centers on existing SDG&E equipment that is obstructing a portion of the project. The city says SDG&E should pick up the tab for moving the infrastructure but the utility has refused.
