LADWP Sees No Need For State-Mandated Water Conservation

Los Angeles has enough water to make it through three more years of drought without continuing state-mandated water cuts.

That’s the finding of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s “stress test,” which was due to the State Water Resources Control Board this week. Under a complex calculation handed down by state water officials, local agencies have to project future water supplies given the assumption that California won’t receive any more rain and snow in the next three years than it did over the previous three.
