A group of Whittier investors purchased property andestablished what was to become the country’s largestcemetary: Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary. Locatedin semi-arid Southern California, cyclic drought is alwaysand issue. In 1997 Rose Hills and the Sanitation Districts ofLos Angeles County agreed to a mutually beneficial projectthat would bring recycled water to the memorial park.This initial project would bring the much needed waterto the higher elevations of the park and secure a dependableresource for future development. Currently, thewater from this resource is used to irrigate about 100acres of cemetery lawn, 125 acres of agriculture, structuralfire protection, and ornamental lakes and otherwater feature displays. In addition to this initial partnership,Rose Hills is working with five governmentalagencies to bring recycled water to the entire park. Whenthe expansion project is complete, Rose Hills will be irrigatingover 600 acres of turf and ornamental plants,supplying irrigation water to grow edible table crops andusing the recycled water in two ornamental lakes.User Issues Forum Luncheon SponsorRain BirdPatrick Sless, District Sales Manager760 Minerva LaneLake Mary, FL 32746(407) 323-5967 • www.rainbird.comA privately held company founded in 1933, Rain BirdCorporation is the leading manufacturer and provider ofirrigation products and services.
