The City of Los Angeles is committed to a sustainable water future that relies more on local water supplies than costly and unreliable imported water. The plan to increase local water resources includes groundwater replenishment using recycled water.

The Machado Lake Pipeline Project is an important water infrastructure investment that will bring recycled water to the local parks, oil refineries, and golf courses in the Harbor area for uses such as landscape irrigation and industrial processes. The project will install approximately 3,400 feet of pipeline to bring recycled water from the Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant.

As the City’s imported water supply becomes more critical, so does the need to expand our local, sustainable water resources, including water recycling.
