Water Loss Audit and Component Analysis

The Water Loss Audit and Component Analysis Project examined the efficiency of the water distribution system, specifically the current ability to accurately identify real and apparent losses; determined the economic optimum level of water losses; and identified, prioritized, and recommended the most efficient and cost-effective loss intervention strategies to minimize water loss. The project fulfills the requirements of Best Management Practice (BMP) 1.2 in the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

    Groundwater monitoring wells are being constructed by the LADWP in various areas of the east San Fernando Valley to gather data for a comprehensive Groundwater System Improvement Study to restore the City of Los Angeles’ use of this local water supply from the San Fernando Groundwater Basin. For more information, go to Local Groundwater Projects.

    The Mission Wells Facility will draw Sylmar Basin groundwater through a system of production wells, a pump station, a sand-trap tank, and a chlorination station. For information, go to Mission Wells Facility Improvement Project.

    The Silver Lake Reservoir Restoration Project fulfills LADWP’s commitment to restore the water in Silver Lake Reservoir using local groundwater sources that will not impact the drinking water supply. Silver Lake Reservoir was drained to enable construction of a critical bypass pipeline project to meet water quality regulations and ensure a safe drinking water supply. For more information, go to Silver Lake Reservoir Restoration Project.

    This project will capture stormwater for groundwater replenishment in the San Fernando Groundwater Basin. For more information, go to Tujunga Spreading Grounds Enhancement Project.

    The Silver Lake Reservoir Bypass project was completed in 2017, Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs are no longer a part of the potable drinking water system. The Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) continues to be an operational facility with important water system infrastructure. Several projects are either underway or in the planning stages to improve the operation and aesthetics of both Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs. A Master Plan process is underway led by the Bureau of Engineering.
