BACKGROUND
The City of Los Angeles offers free recycled water to all LADWP customers for approved purposes, including irrigation for trees, shrubs, and landscaping. To be eligible to receive free recycled water at the fill station, customers must complete a brief training class before filling up. Upon completion, participants can receive up to 300 gallons of recycled water per visit. Use of recycled water for landscaping purposes helps LADWP offset the use of valuable drinking water that can be redirected to customer needs. For more information, please visit www.ladwp.com/RWFS.
