Water Consumption and Water Production<br />

The <strong>City</strong> produces and purchases more water per year than is measured by the meters. An<br />

average <strong>of</strong> 92 percent <strong>of</strong> water produced and purchased each year was used by the<br />

consumers. Approximately eight percent <strong>of</strong> the water supply is unaccounted for each<br />

year.<br />

Water Conservation<br />

In 1990, the <strong>City</strong> had adopted a voluntary program that encouraged a 10 percent<br />

reduction in water usage. Similarly, a few years later, in 1991, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong><br />

adopted two water conservation Ordinances: 1) Ordinance No. 91-6 (Water Conservation<br />

Practices) and 2) Ordinance No. [X] (Water Efficiency in the Landscape).<br />

recycled water system, which utilizes approximately 700 acre feet per year 25 . The <strong>City</strong> has<br />

a recycled water use program and as been purchasing recycled water from WBMWD<br />

school district facilities for the irrigation <strong>of</strong> landscape and other non-potable uses. The<br />

<strong>City</strong> has 14 connections to the West Basin’s recycled water system and serves the<br />
