RE:  Extending Water LA Program to all of Los AngelesDear Mayor Garcetti

The XXXX Neighborhood Council believes that water is of paramount importance to the City of Los Angeles. We support the Mayor’s goal of cutting imported supplies in half by 2025 and would like to be active participants but believe there may be a lack of consistent guidance, reliable incentives, resources and support.

The Water LA program has been providing these tools to Panorama City and Studio City, and we request that your office do what it can to extend the Water LA program to other communities in Los Angeles.

Very truly yours,

XXXX Neighborhood Council
