Send More Money For Water Recycling, LA Mayor Begs State

More financial assistance is needed from the state to boost water recycling and further other water conservation projects in Los Angeles, city Controller Ron Galperin said Friday in a letter penned with Mayor Eric Garcetti. The state’s $15 million cap on each city for the state water board’s Recycled Water Funding Program has limited the amount of money the city can put into such projects, the elected officials wrote in a letter to the Water Resources Control Board and the Department of Water Resources. They urged the state agencies to consider avoiding these types of caps for future grant programs.
