Los Angeles County has seen a significant boost in its water supply, thanks to the first major storm of the 2025-26 storm season. The storm, which brought over three inches of rainfall in some areas, added about 700 million gallons to the local water supply. This amount is enough to supply approximately 18,400 people for a full year, bringing the total collected since October 1 to over a billion gallons.
Downtown Los Angeles received 1.38 inches of rain on October 14, significantly exceeding the normal October rainfall. This heavy rainfall has also helped delay Southern California's fire season, providing relief to drought-stricken areas. The storm was classified as a weak atmospheric river, described as "just right" for the region's conditions.
Looking ahead, there's a small chance of light rain this week, particularly in interior valleys and mountain areas. However, these conditions are not expected to match the intensity of the recent storm.
On the water management front, Los Angeles's flood control system played a crucial role in protecting communities from flooding while capturing rainfall for future use.
The Pure Water Los Angeles initiative aims to develop advanced purified water for reuse, which could further enhance the city's water security.
