"The MacArthur Park Lake Stormwater Capture Project calls for building a water treatment system that will be able to turn rainfall into drinking water - roughly 9 million gallons annually, or enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool 14 times."
"We know MacArthur Park has faced real challenges, and those challenges are the result of under-investment in infrastructure, public health and basic services. But what we're doing now is different."
"The project will add a pedestrian bridge, updated walking paths, native trees and landscaping for shade, seating and a decorative water feature."
"The stormwater system will clean 244 acre-feet of stormwater a year, clearing 10 tons of sediment before it touches MacArthur Lake or the downstream Ballona Creek."
Los Angeles officials announced a $40-million stormwater project at MacArthur Park to convert rainstorm runoff into drinking water, cleaning 9 million gallons annually. The project includes a water treatment system, new landscaping, walking paths, a pedestrian bridge, shaded seating, and a decorative water feature. City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez emphasized the need for investment in infrastructure and public health to address the park's challenges, including crime and homelessness, while aiming to enhance its reputation and appeal.
