West Basin and Central Basin Municipal Water Districts
Recognized for their commitment to saving energy through water conservation and efficiency practices. In 2003, the West Basin and Central Basin Municipal Water Districts introduced "Planet Protector Water Explorations," a collaborative water and environmental educational program, which helped save an estimated 50,000 acre-feet of water and 100 to 150 megawatts (MW) of energy. The Districts also recycled more than 30,000 acre-feet of water, saving an estimated 30 to 40 MW of energy. In total, the Districts saved an estimated 130 to 190 MW of energy by not having to import 80,000 acre-feet of water from outside their service areas.
