LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power captured nearly 14 billion gallons of stormwater last month, an 8.4 billion-gallon increase over the rainwater captured in February of 2023, Mayor Karen Bass announced.
It represents a major step toward the city’s climate goals, and it’s enough to serve roughly 165,000 households for a year or to fill more than 20,000 Olympic-sized pools.
