LA’s Reliance on MWD Water Has Increased 7-Fold in the Past 30 Years

Page 4: David pettijohn

Using Less Water Than 40 Years Ago Despite Population Increase of 1 Million

New Challenges Require Continued Proactive Planning by LADWP

Local Groundwater Contamination& Basin Urbanization

Threats to Imported Water

- Environmental- Competing Demands- Climate Change

Rising MWD Water Costs

LA’s Water Reliability 2025 is Combination of Two Important LADWP Initiatives

+ =

SFB GroundwaterRemediation Program

Ensuring safe drinking water that meets all regulations

Local Water Supply Program

Securing new local water supplies

Stormwater Capture Master Plan

• Evaluate existing stormwater capture facilities and projects

• Quantify maximum stormwater capture potential

• Provide potential strategies to increase stormwater capture

• Recommend stormwater capture projects, programs, policies, and incentives

• Determine the economic mix of centralized vs distributed stormwater capture projects

Relationship of Stormwater Capture Master Plan to Other Efforts

StormwaterCapture

Master Plan

Detailed Master Plans & Studies

Identifies solutions and estimates costs, and are conducted

as needed

Urban Water Management Plan

Required by law every 5 years, and must take a 25-year look into the

future

Input Input

LA’s Water Reliability 2025

Summarizes all water initiatives and develops

overall timing and impacts, and will be updated every year
