Infrastructure Improvement
Through infrastructure projects, the LADWP can provide its customers with a reliable source of water by replacing or upgrading major system components that are outdated or malfunctioning, or located in seismic areas. The Infrastructure budget is one-third of the 10-year capital budget. Work on trunk lines, major system connections, distribution mains, and service replacements account for most of the Infrastructure budget. In addition to reliability, many projects such as the meter replacement program will also have water quality benefits. This program, the first of its kind in the country, will provide Los Angeles with lead-free meters.
2023-24 Infrastructure Goals
Discover how LADWP, the nation’s largest municipal electric utility, is working to enhance the infrastructure that powers and hydrates the City of LA. Learn more about our targeted goals for replacing and/or upgrading infrastructure and our ongoing efforts in the Power Infrastructure Plan and the Water Infrastructure Plan.
Water Distribution Services
The Water Services Organization is separated into five districts that are responsible for Los Angeles’ water distribution to the residents of Los Angeles. From the San Fernando Valley to the Harbor area, crews work every day to keep the water flowing efficiently throughout the City’s 7,200 miles of water pipes. Their work includes pipeline and hydrant work, meters and services, and other special projects.
Our mission is to provide quality customer service in the delivery of water through the effective installation and maintenance of the water distribution system.
Our vision is to be a positive organization, recognized for its flexibility and expertise in the delivery of Water Distribution Services.
Trunk Lines
LADWP operates approximately 500 miles of trunk lines in the water system. Trunk lines are supply pipelines greater than 20 inches in diameter that form the major arteries for water delivery. They deliver and redistribute large amounts of water throughout the City of Los Angeles assuring a reliable supply is available. A Trunk Line Condition Assessment Program was developed to assess the condition and prioritize trunk lines in need of replacement.
Regulator Stations
A regulator station is an important Water System asset that consists of pipes and valves and is located in an underground vault. The purpose of a regulator station is to reduce high water pressure to manageable levels, thus ensuring the delivery of safe and clean tap water to customers.
Many of the regulator stations in the LADWP service area were installed over 50 years ago and because of operational wear and tear are due to be rehabilitated. LADWP is in the process of identifying these stations and implementing plans to install new equipment. The effort is part of a larger and continuing effort to improve infrastructure in the LADWP Water System.
Appropriately listed below are regulator station projects that are currently in construction or planned. LADWP is committed to completing each project as safely and as quickly as possible, with minimum disruption to the surrounding community.
