Nearly 4 million Los Angeles County residents will be affected, including residents of Beverly Hills, Burbank, Glendale, Long Beach and Pasadena.
During that time, MWP asks residents and businesses to eliminate all outdoor watering and refraining from mowing lawns. In a statement, officials noted that"two weeks of no watering will not kill your lawn. Though you will see a noticeable yellowing, it will improve once your previous watering schedule resumes."
In the days leading up to the repairs, officials request that residents and businesses refrain from new plantings, set mowers for a higher cut and make effective use of shades and canopies. “We need to make this urgent repair to ensure this infrastructure can continue serving Southern California in the immediate term and for years to come,” said Metropolitan Water System Operations Manager Brent Yamasaki."We don’t take this call lightly, but it is what is needed at this time."What questions do you have about Southern California?
