Protecting Your Neighborhood
When we build new infrastructure—like upgrading water reclamation plants or creating green alleys that catch rainwater—we want to make sure they help your neighborhood thrive. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a state law that helps us do exactly that. Before any major project begins, our division experts study how the work might affect your local environment.
We always look out for your daily life first. By checking air quality, traffic, and noise levels ahead of time, we make sure our upgrades make the City of Los Angeles a cleaner, healthier place to live. We focus on delivering real neighborhood benefits, using advanced science to protect your family and our local marine life.
