The Water System’s Capital
Improvement Program is a ten-year plan
focused on maintaining or replacing
existing components of the Water
System, and constructing new facilities
to ensure LADWP fulfills its mission of
providing reliable and high quality water
to the residents of Los Angeles.
Many facilities pre-date World War
II and are near the end of their
useful lives. In addition to aging
infrastructure, existing and anticipated
changes in state and federal water
quality regulations affect the way
LADWP stores and treats water
that arrives at the tap. LADWP
is responding to these changes
and improving its water quality by
eliminating daily dependence on large
in-city open reservoirs. LADWP is
also instituting more comprehensive
monitoring programs to ensure that
the water delivered is the highest
quality and meets all state and federal
drinking water regulations.
The Capital Improvement Program
budget is segmented into four major
categories:
1. Infrastructure Reliability
2. Water Supply
3. Regulatory Compliance
4. Other Strategic Activities
A brief, yet detailed, description
of what is included in each budget
category is provided in subsequent
sections of this document. Figure 1
above illustrates the percentage each
category represents of the total tenyear
capital budget. The total capital
budget is estimated to exceed $6 billion
dollars over the next ten years. Table
1 provides a year-by-year summary of
the ten-year capital budget described
in this document. LADWP aggressively
seeks grants, low interest loans, and
other types of assistance from federal,
state, or city agencies to reduce costs
to its ratepayers.
