More than 4 million residents living in Los Angeles County must suspend outdoor watering for 15 days in September because of emergency pipeline repairs, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) announced on Aug. 15.
The 36-mile pipeline, a critical conduit that delivers Colorado River water into Southern California, was set to be repaired next month after a leak was discovered earlier this year. The repair will take place from Sept. 6 to Sept. 20, and the pipeline will be shut down during this period, according to the MWD.
