What is the purpose of the LADWP's Water Quality Program?

The purpose of the LADWP's Water Quality Program is centered on ensuring that the water supply meets health and safety standards. This program is crucial because it focuses on testing and monitoring water sources to protect public health and ensure the safety of drinking water. By maintaining these standards, the program plays a vital role in safeguarding the community from contaminants and ensuring that the water provided is clean and safe for consumption. This involves rigorous testing for various pollutants and compliance with federal and state water quality regulations.

In contrast, monitoring weather conditions, promoting water conservation education, and managing city parks, while important functions of the broader utility and city operations, do not directly relate to the primary goal of guaranteeing the quality and safety of the water supply. These others serve different purposes that, while contributing to overall resource management, fall outside the specific focus of the Water Quality Program.
