Los Angeles is making a splash with water news this week as the city heads into October 2025 and the beginning of the new water year. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and LA Sanitation are inviting the public to weigh in on the ambitious Pure Water Los Angeles program, which kicks off its environmental review process. This cutting-edge initiative aims to develop a sustainable and reliable local drinking water source by building an advanced purification system, expanding treatment, conveyance, groundwater recharge, and ultimately supporting LA’s goal to meet 70 percent of its water needs with local sources. Public scoping meetings for the environmental impact report are scheduled throughout September and October, allowing Angelenos a direct say in how LA secures its hydrational future.

When it comes to the water you drink, the focus on quality and supply resilience has never been sharper. Pure Water Los Angeles’ advanced treatment technologies are designed not just for quantity, but to assure safe, high-quality drinking water now and for decades to come, making the city far less dependent on imported water—a big deal given global shortages and climate stress.

Turning to precipitation and local weather, October is just getting started and this first week has been quintessentially dry. According to the LA Almanac, rainfall for downtown Los Angeles this water year sits at 0.09 inches for September and zero so far for October, which is in line with the city’s arid seasonal start. Easeweather reports reinforce this—Los Angeles has seen sunny skies with highs hovering around 25 to 29 degrees Celsius and no rain measured in the past five days. This pattern is nothing out of the ordinary: October historically delivers less than 10 millimeters of total rainfall with just a single wet day, making it one of LA’s driest months before the wet season might finally show up.

Of course, this dryness comes as California as a whole braces for extreme swings in weather patterns. According to Maven’s Notebook, there’s a 71 percent chance of La Niña conditions emerging this fall, which could mean a drier overall winter, but paradoxically, when rain does fall, storms may be stronger and more intense. Statewide reservoirs like Lake Oroville are still holding strong, currently at 109 percent of average storage, but as always in California, water security is never something taken for granted.

Looking forward, the real action for LA’s water supply will come not from this week’s skies, but from the city’s long-range investments in recycling, purification, and smarter local management. Those steps are what will keep faucets flowing and lawns green even if the dry weather continues or extreme events kick up.
