Angelenos sure welcome any rainfall we can get, especially in this heat. Why not harvest every raindrop, reuse and strategically direct that rainwater to save potable water costs and local water quality? We need all the forward-thinking solutions possible as LA County still has worst water quality in the state.Here's a solution and a fabulous way to get ready for the season ahead: enroll in the City of LA's new, first-of-its-kind free Rainwater Harvesting Program.
Thanks to the City's new water-conservation initiative (hooray!) and a grant from the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, Los Angeleno property owners or businesses in the pilot communities Mar Vista, Sawtelle and Jefferson can get hooked up with a free rain barrel plus installation or a free downspout disconnect. I wish this was happening in my hood too! Certainly this promising news could set important future standards for Southern California.
Join your community in this exciting momentum towards sustainable LA living and help spread the good word. Be one of the 600 lucky ones to participate in the pilot by signing up at LA Rainwater Harvesting Program or by calling 562.597.0205.
