WHAT:
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks break ground on a recycled water irrigation retrofit project at Roosevelt Golf Course, the eighth City of Los Angeles public golf course to be irrigated with recycled water.
Using recycled water to irrigate city golf courses as well as implementing sustainable landscaping at several city parks, will result in 730 million gallons of drinking water conserved, enough to supply more than 6,700 single family homes in Los Angeles on an annual basis.
