Construction HIGHLIGHTS The Los Amigos Park Stormwater Harvesting & Direct Use

Demonstration Project is a grant funded project to demonstrate the

effectiveness of harvesting urban runoff for beneficial uses such as

indoor flushing and park irrigation, which currently use potable

(drinking) water.

The project is expected to treat up to 550,000 gallons of stormwater and dry-

weather runoff annually. The demonstration project will provide results on design,

installation, and operation which will be relevant and transferable to other projects

and help break down barriers to local water resource development.

The northwest portion of the park, adjacent to Hollister Avenue, will house the

majority of the project. Stormwater and dry-weather discharges from a Los

Angeles County storm drain along 5th Street, that receives runoff from a 50-acre

urbanized watershed, will be diverted into a pre-treatment system before entering

an underground cistern for storage. After passing through an ultraviolet (UV)

disinfection system, treated water will be delivered to the adjacent park restrooms

for indoor flushing, as well as the park irrigation system.
