The following excerpt is from Metropolitan Water Dist. of Southern Cal. v. Marquardt, 28 Cal.Rptr. 724, 379 P.2d 28, 59 Cal.2d 159 (Cal. 1963):
Even if the surcharge provisions of article 30(e) might lead to some imperfect results, this would not justify holding the provisions invalid. A classification having some reasonable basis does not violate equal protection merely because in practice it results in some inequality. (Morey v. Doud, 354 U.S. 457, 463, 77 S.Ct. 1344, 1 L.Ed.2d 1485.)
