a. Are you now employing water conservation efforts? Yes
Describe any water conservation efforts you have initiated The City of Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) continues to implement water conservation efforts through the City Water Conservation Ordinance in effect, developing outreach & educational campaigns, participating in community outreach opportunities and offering rebate and resource programs. Currently, Phase 2 of LADWP Water Conservation Ordinance is in effect limiting landscape irrigation to 3 days per week. The ordinance also prohibits wasteful watering such as hosing down driveways, irrigating on rainy days and etc. LADWP has also expanded its Water Conservation Response Unit to enforce the ordinance. A hotline and email was also created to allow customers to report water wasters. LADWP increased water conservation public awareness through advertisements on bus tails, bus benches, bus shelters, in movie theaters, radio, newspapers as well as through social media. The Save the Drop Water Conservation Outreach Campaign in collaboration with the Office of the Mayor expands public awareness through outreach materials, radio spots, event handouts, and signage on the sides of Sanitation trucks. LADWP also offers a variety of rebates and programs to assist our customers in using water more efficiently as well as save money and resources. Such rebates and programs include California Friendly Landscape Incentive Program (which incentives customers for removing their turf and replacing with California Friendly plants) and rebates on water saving items such as high efficiency clothes washers, toilets and irrigation controllers. LADWP also offers free bathroom faucet aerators, kitchen faucet aerators, showerheads and rain barrels to customers. To further educate customers, LADWP offers free California Friendly Landscape Training Workshops as well as Turf Removal Hands on Workshops. Through outreach activities, public awareness, training workshops and rebate programs, LADWP has seen tremendous increase in participation in the LADWP water conservation programs as well as reductions in water usage.
