Doesn't the DWP price include procurement, treatment, delivery to a house and sewage treatment, whereas the Sorek price is only procurement.
To compare them, it would have to be the price someone pays to obtain a kilolitre of untreated water at source.
California seems to have some water transfers, and I found a report listing prices from $50-$550/acre-foot, or
~1.25 million L (2012 [1])
That would give an upper bound of (550/1250) $0.44/kilolitre at source.

- jpollock 10y agoYou are correct, in LA, it's broken out into a separate line item. From the DWP FAQ: "The Sewer Service Charge (SSC) is based on metered water use" https://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/faces/wcnav_externalId/c-cs-sewer-charg;jsessionid=jtpbXczQjvtM6njrczJxY9LGF0Jvjn4q1zGTHBwBP6l5rTPj1ZyD!747476876?_adf.ctrl-state=j2xbb4sk6_4&ladwp/cms/ladwp000399.jsp&_afrLoop=603635808483886&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null#%40%3Fladwp%252Fcms%252Fladwp000399.jsp%3D%26_afrWindowId%3Dnull%26_afrLoop%3D603635808483886%26_afrWindowMode%3D0%26_adf.ctrl-state%3D18bpvkygwi_4 https://www.ladwp.com/ladwp/faces/wcnav_externalId/c-cs-sewe...
