The Los
Angeles Department of Water and
Power (DWP) has an active water
conservation program. DWP
continues to stress the
importance of using water
wisely. Challenges to the City’s
legal water rights, and
unpredictable climatic
conditions are constant
reminders that our water supply
cannot be taken for granted.
Since approximately 75 percent
of the City’s water is imported
over 300 miles from Owens Valley
and Mono Basin, it simply does
not make sense to waste it.
In view of this situation, the
DWP is asking everyone to
conserve water. Cooperation from
our customers, including
commercial and industrial
businesses, has been
outstanding. However, the effort
must continue, as water
conservation is a necessary part
of future water supply planning.
Brochures and informational
bulletins providing more
specific water conservation
suggestions have also been
developed by DWP and are
available upon request.
For additional information in
water conservation, please

Line at 1-800-544-4498 or visit
