More than 4 million residents in Los Angeles County will be asked to suspend outdoor watering for more than two weeks next month.
A leak was discovered in the 36-mile upper feeder pipeline, which delivers water from the Colorado River to Southern California, earlier this year. The pipeline was running at a reduced capacity after a temporary repair while officials designed a more permanent solution.
"We need to make this urgent repair to ensure this infrastructure can continue serving Southern California in the immediate term and for years to come," said Brent Yamasaki, systems operations manager for the Metropolitan Water District. While we do this work, we need people who normally get water from this pipeline to eliminate their outdoor water use to stretch the limited available water supplies. We don't take this call lightly, but it is what is needed at this time.
