The Metro JPA’s mission is to create an equitable partnership with the San Diego City Council and Mayor on regional wastewater issues.

The JPA achieves this through these guiding principles:

• Strive to ensure fair rates for all participating agencies, to protect the environment, and to make regionally balanced decisions. 
• Advocate for services to be delivered safely, reliably, and at the lowest possible cost. 
• Support stakeholder collaboration, open dialogue, and making data informed policy decisions.
