The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California completed repairs on a leak on a 36-mile pipeline, described as a primary conduit for about 4 million people.
Metropolitan Water District officials say it is estimated customers in the affected areas reduced water demands by about 30% during the repairs., particularly during the extreme heat wave the region experienced early in the shutdown, but Southern Californians stepped up their water-saving efforts again, as they have in the past, to help us through this critical shutdown, Metropolitan Chairwoman Gloria D. Gray said in a statement.
The MWD made a temporary repair to the leak in the pipeline earlier this year, when it began operating the pipeline at a reduced capacity. The MWD scheduled the shutdown to install a longer-term fix to the pipeline to avoid a possible critical failure to the water supply.
