On the broader water supply front, the Metropolitan Water District announced this week that it is accelerating a major infrastructure project known as the Sepulveda Feeder Pump Stations Project. The Metropolitan board just approved an additional $54 million to ensure Southern California communities—those hit hardest when State Water Project deliveries were slashed two years ago—have access to Colorado River water and reserves stored in Diamond Valley Lake. The move comes in direct response to the region’s vulnerability during the last megadrought, which forced nearly seven million people to cut usage dramatically. This project aims to secure water reliability for years to come, as reported by Maven’s Notebook.
Turning to water quality, the Safe, Clean Water Program remains in focus across Los Angeles County. This public initiative recently funded the grand opening of the Urban Orchard Project in South Gate. The project captures and treats stormwater runoff from the LA River, restoring wetlands, improving fish habitat, and offering green recreational space for local communities. A regional oversight committee met July 9 to continue reviewing similar projects dedicated to water quality and supply improvement, according to the Safe, Clean Water LA Program.
For anybody planning to hit the beach this weekend, the Los Angeles County Public Health Department is warning swimmers to steer clear of the water at eight local beaches due to elevated bacteria levels from recent street runoff. Santa Monica, Malibu, Marina Del Rey, and San Pedro are among the affected spots. Health officials urge residents—especially children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems—to avoid any activity that involves ocean water exposure until further notice. The Los Angeles Times notes that weekly testing will continue, with updates expected as bacterial conditions change.
If you’re wondering about rainfall totals: don’t count on nature to help with the water supply this July. According to both the Los Angeles Almanac and Weather25, zero measurable rain has fallen so far this month. Los Angeles typically averages just 0.02 inches in July, and this year is right on course—completely dry. Average July temperatures are holding firm around the mid-70s Fahrenheit, and forecasts show no incoming storms, confirming that all 31 days this month are predicted to stay rain-free.
To summarize, over the past 48 hours, key developments include a disruptive water main break, major investments in drought resilience, continued innovation in stormwater capture and cleaning, and persistent warnings about urban runoff impacting ocean water safety. Drinking water supply remains secure for most, with infrastructure upgrades just beginning in the hardest-hit areas from past droughts. Rain remains almost nonexistent, so conserving water and staying mindful of quality advisories is as important as ever.
