Did you know 80% of the water we use in LA is imported? Costs are going up while supply is in flux. But there’s good news: small changes can make a big difference!
Yesterday, how much water did your household use? Your LADWP bill doesn’t help you watch day-to-day water consumption. But now there’s Flume! You can check a phone app to see real-time water use. Normally $199 retail, you can purchase this easy-to-install water monitoring system through LADWP for just $24! You purchase for $49 at check-out, and LADWP will issue an automatic refund of $25 once your Flume is installed.
