Inyo County has taken legal action that asks the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to reduce the amount of groundwater the agency plans to pump from the Owens Valley in the next year. In recent years, Inyo has let LA get by with more pumping than believed healthy for the Owens Valley but not this year. In a press release, officials point to DWP’s plan to pump 91,000 acre-feet as the “highest level of groundwater pumping by LADWP since 1989.” The release says that by reducing that amount by less than 10%, LA could avoid a “potentially costly legal battle.”
