LADWP and LASAN Announce Completion of Key Pure Water Los Angeles Planning Documents
At a joint meeting of the Los Angeles Board of Water and Power Commissioners and the Los Angeles Board of Public Works Commissioners, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) jointly announced the completion of three key program planning documents for Pure Water Los Angeles. The Pure Water project is a water supply and resiliency initiative collaboratively developed by LADWP and LASAN to design, build and operate an exceptionally advanced water purification system. These documents establish a planning framework for Pure Water Los Angeles and consist of a Master Plan authored by LADWP, the Hyperion Program Implementation Plan created by LASAN and an introduction connecting those two documents.
According to LADWP, Pure Water Los Angeles aims to produce up to 230 million gallons of purified recycled water per day, creating a new, sustainable supply of drinking water and supporting the transition to a 70 percent local water supply.
“An equitable, secure, and safe water supply for all Angelenos is the priority for LASAN and LADWP and is the driving force behind the Pure Water Los Angeles program,” said LASAN’s Director and General Manager, Barbara Romero. “As climate change and its associated natural disasters continue to escalate, advanced and ambitious solutions are needed. LASAN looks forward to continuing to partner with LADWP as we move into the next phase of the program.”
