Happy Pride Month!

LADWP joins with our employees and Angelenos to celebrate Pride Month! June 5 marked a historic day for the Department as the Progress Flag was raised in front of the John Ferraro Building for the first time. And on June 9, members of LADWP’s PRIDE employee resource group and fellow allies celebrated with other community members as they marched in the L.A. Pride Parade. Join us as we continue to build an inclusive and diverse workforce for all!

Visit Our New Pollinator Garden at Hollywood Reservoir

On June 1, we unveiled the new Hollywood Reservoir Pollinator Garden, located on the west side of the Hollywood Reservoir.

Visitors can now enjoy the sight of butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators visiting California friendly plants alongside views of idyllic Hollywood Reservoir and the iconic Hollywood Sign atop green mountains.

The garden is dedicated in honor of the late activist, conservationist and

former State Assemblywoman, LADWP Assistant General Manager, and Mayor of San Fernando Cindy Montañez.

The Pollinator Garden, affectionately referred to as "Cindy's Garden," was created in partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute and other partners.

Commemorating Juneteenth 

LADWP honors this day of remembrance and celebration of resilience and freedom, which was named an official City of Los Angeles holiday in 2022 by the Mayor and City Council.

Juneteenth commemorates the true end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865, when Union troops informed slaves in Galveston, Texas of their emancipation.

LADWP Awarded Federal Funding for Local Water Supply Projects

The federal Bureau of Reclamation awarded LADWP $30 million for the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project which is one

of multiple projects expected to dramatically reduce the City’s dependence on purchased, imported water.

Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) – will recycle 100 percent of available wastewater from LASAN’s Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant.

This will produce nearly seven billion gallons annually of purified recycled water for replenishment of the San Fernando Groundwater Basin – enough drinking water for more than 250,000 residents in the City of Los Angeles annually.
