Los Angeles will get $139 million for groundwater replenishment over 25 years
As part of a $250 million commitment to support four water supply projects in Southern California, Los Angeles will receive $139 million over 25 years for its Groundwater Replenishment Project in the San Fernando Valley, officials announced on Monday, April 15. Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s Board of Directors approved separate agreements with water agencies, including the city of Los Angeles, as part of its Local Resources Program. The Metropolitan Water District is a state-established wholesaler that provides water for 19 million people in six counties. The Local Resources Program aims to provide economic incentives for water developed and produced from groundwater clean-up, water recycling and seawater desalination throughout the agency’s six-county service area.
