4 Big Users Sign Pact to Buy Reclaimed Water
Four of Los Angeles’ largest irrigation water users signed formal agreements with the city Thursday to use as much as 525 million gallons of reclaimed water annually.
Representatives from Forest Lawn Memorial-Park Assn., Mt. Sinai Memorial-Park, Lakeside Golf Club of Hollywood and MCA Inc. signed agreements that represent the city’s first major marketing effort for reclaimed water.
The Greenbelt Project is the first reclamation project in Los Angeles that will deliver water from the Los Angeles-Glendale Sewage Treatment Plant to private companies. To get the water to the four new customers, the city is in the process of laying 5.2 miles of pipeline along established roadways, the Los Angeles River right of way and bridle trails in Griffith Park.
