As LA plans to recycle more water, officials want to hear from you
As two landmark water recycling projects slowly move forward, officials want to hear from you. First up: the city of L.A.’s effort to convert the Hyperion wastewater treatment plant. The goal is to recycle all that treated wastewater that currently ends up in the ocean. The city is hosting a meeting in June to provide information about the project and to solicit feedback. Second, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California recently released its draft environmental impact report for their regional water recycling project, a partnership with L.A. County Sanitation Districts. The water recycling facility is in Carson and the MWD will take public comment through July 14 online, as well as through upcoming community meetings. Both projects would treat wastewater, which currently winds up in the ocean, to meet drinkable standards for use at our homes and businesses.
