Residents and businesses in areas of greater Los Angeles County, including Beverly Hills, are being asked to suspend outdoor water use for two weeks as repairs to a major pipeline will stretch already thin resources.
Earlier this year, a leak was discovered in the Upper Feeder Reservoir, which delivers water from the parched Colorado River to Southern California. To repair the leak, crews from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) will have to shut down from Sept. 6 to Sept. 20. The pipeline had previously been operating at a reduced capacity while crews decided on the best permanent solution.
