I’m a little confused by this comment. Agriculture, including the almond growers, only pay for the cost to permit, construct, and maintain a well, as well as electricity for the pump which is almost negligible.
Municipalities may have a water provider with a per gallon price. And finally, a very small few rely on rain water collection.
Having a “uniform water price” would never be possible, and even if it was, I am very skeptical it would “solve most of California’s water issues”.
