On Nov. 8, Los Angeles voted to invest in infrastructure improvements that will transform the region for generations to come. To many, there is a sense that we’ve already sufficiently invested in water infrastructure. Those funds are absolutely critical for the state’s water infrastructure needs. Unfortunately, the success on the San Gabriel has not been matched on the Los Angeles River, Dominguez Channel or Ballona Creek. Sustainable water infrastructure won’t come cheaply, but it will be far more affordable if we invest now, rather than waiting for a disaster to spur us to action.
