LADWP WATER SYSTEM BACKGROUND Los Angeles circa 1902 HISTORY The city of Los Angeles has grown from a small village with a population of 1,610 into a metropolis with a population now estimated at four million. No single factor has been as important to the establishment and growth of Los Angeles as water. In 1781, the main source of water for Los Angeles was the Los Angeles River. Water from the Los Angeles River was distributed by a series of open ditches managed by a private water company called The Los Angeles City Water Company. In 1902, the city purchased The Los Angeles City Water Company for $2 million. That company has evolved into the present-day Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), which houses the city’s power and water systems. During the 1900s, continued population growth coupled with drought conditions led the city to identify a new source of water in the Owens Valley more than 200 miles away. In 1907, the city began construction of the 233-mile Los Angeles Aqueduct. With a stable water supply, numerous adjacent communities voted to become a part of the city of Los Angeles, increasing the city’s population and further expanding its need for water. In 1928, Los Angeles joined with other cities to form the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The MWD, a water wholesaler, would bring additional supplies from the Colorado River and the California Aqueduct to the city of Los Angeles and surrounding areas. 4 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Los Angeles Today The LADWP Water System is the largest municipally owned and operated retail water utility in the country. It provides customers with reliable, high quality and affordably-priced water services in a safe, public, and environmentally responsible manner. Today, LADWP provides enough water to the city to fill the Los Angeles Coliseum from top to bottom twice daily. The Water System continues to successfully meet the challenges of fulfilling its mission to customers while planning for population growth and meeting increasingly stringent water quality standards.
