Westside : WATER SAVER
Ground was broken for a $6-million water recycling project in Westchester Thursday, the plan calling for a pipeline to distribute recycled water on the Westside.
The four-mile pipeline will connect to an existing water line and treatment plant in El Segundo and will transport the used water to customers for landscape and industrial use in Westchester, officials said.
Prospective customers for the highly treated municipal waste water include Los Angeles International Airport and Loyola Marymount University, said Department of Water and Power spokeswoman Debra Sass.
The project is equally funded by the state and Los Angeles water customers, she said. Construction is scheduled to begin in February, with completion expected in November.
