In California, even before a drop of treated water reaches a consumer’s faucet, approximately 8% of it has already been lost because of leakages in the delivery system.

UC Davis and LADWP Collaborate on Energy-Water Conservation Study by News and Media Relations February 04, 2021 Conserving water goes beyond just saving water; it plays a vital role in conserving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). This is one of the main conclusions of a study conducted by UC Davis in collaboration with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, shows that customer-focused water conservation programs are just as cost-effective (and in some cases, are more cost-effective) as energy efficiency programs in reducing electricity use, GHGs and other energy-intensive operations. ....
