It was supposed to be a golfer’s paradise.
Now, with a do-or-die deadline to approve a massive 300% water rate hike or face going completely dry, the Central California community of Diablo Grande is at a crossroads.
Now you can add water woes to the list of issues facing Diablo Grande. The community’s residents must approve a jaw-dropping water rate increase from $145 to $569 monthly — nearly a 300% jump — or watch their taps run dry on June 30.
Residents took over management of the water service in 2020, along with its mountain of debt. They face a June 30 deadline to approve the rate hike; otherwise, the agency says, water service to the development will be shut off.
This is very much a problem of their own creation it seems. Twice failed to identify where water would come from and built anyway.
It’s pretty damming that you can link to Wikipedia to prove it.

As my water service collects a massive mountain of debt
I take a look at the golf course and realize there’s nothing left.
Someone help me out. Do rich golfers care about me?
What is wrong with building towns in the desert?
It’s literally called Diablo Grande. Do you think water is supposed to go there?!
Maybe this is what Trump was thinking about when “they won’t let water go to California”.
I’m sorry, did someone build a bougie suburb on the desert without thinking twice about the environment
