LADWP is one of the few water agencies across the state to mandate water use restrictions continually since the early 1990s. We encourage conservation and water use efficiency through various outreach and educational programs and offers generous incentives for water-saving measures and devices, such as turf replacement and high-efficiency clothes washers.
