About Our Presentation

Operation NEXT is a new water supply initiative being developed by LADWP in partnership with LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) that aims to improve overall water supply resiliency and reliability for Los Angeles.

Operation NEXT will treat available wastewater for beneficial reuse and help LA to achieve its long-term sustainability goals. The Program also aims to maximize production of purified recycled water from the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant to replenish the city’s groundwater basins.

Concurrently, LADWP is working with regulators to allow integrating purified recycled water with the drinking water system. The process, known as direct potable reuse (DPR), would further expand the use of purified recycled water from Hyperion and other City water reclamation plants as a supplemental water source.

The presentation will cover a review of the City’s water supply sources, Program scope, goals/considerations, schedule/budget management, and outreach.

Plan now to attend. It promises to be the NEXT best thing.
