CALIFORNIA: Turning Los Angeles wastewater to tap water - (Los Angeles Times)
June 7, 2008 – 6:19 pmIn a conference room atop a downtown Los Angeles tower, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s point man on water conservation was confidently ticking off the protections built into a plan to recycle highly treated sewage effluent into the drinking supply.
But when his staff explained that community meetings on the project might not begin until early next year, H. David Nahai quickly grew uneasy.
That’s too slow, too risky, the Department of Water and Power general manager told his team, adding, “Folks on the street who’ll hear about wastewater treatment [may] have some reticence about it. … The more this languishes, the more the fires of suspicion are going to get fanned. We need to go out quicker.”
