Good news! An outdoor watering ban that impacted around four million residents in Los Angeles County has been lifted a day early.
“That's roughly 300 acre feet a day,” he said. “Across the whole shut down … it's over a billion gallons saved."
The leak on the 36-mile pipeline — which delivers Colorado River water to the L.A. area — was discovered earlier this year. A temporary fix kept the pipeline going for a time but the shutdown was needed in order to put a more permanent solution in place. Households who were under the ban may now return to outdoor watering, with conservation in mind as always.
