With water delivery and treatment as the biggest energy user in the state, the importance of the Los Angeles County Sanitation District's (LACSD) efforts cannot be understated. Through improved pump efficiency, and major motor and diffuser upgrades to the Los Coyotes facility, the District was able to cut energy use by 17,750,000 kWh. These measures save the LACSD $2.3 million per year and prevent the emission of 14.2 million pounds of CO2. LACSD also has plans to expand its self-generation capacity in the coming years.
