 Los Angeles is kicking off July 2025 with plenty of sunshine and, so far, a strong outlook for both water supply and water quality. The city is coming off two consecutive wet winters, which the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power credits for bolstering the region’s main water reserves. The final snow surveys for this past season showed the Eastern Sierra snowpack at 91 percent of normal, a key measure since much of L.A.’s water travels hundreds of miles through the Los Angeles Aqueduct from these mountains. That translates to roughly 81 billion gallons of water, expected to meet over half of L.A.’s annual demand. Thanks to this boost, and with existing conservation efforts, the city’s water managers are expressing confidence in meeting present needs, even as they continue to invest in projects like the Pure Water Los Angeles program, which aims to recycle more water locally and further insulate the city from droughts in the future, according to LADWP.

As for precipitation, July is typically dry in Los Angeles, and this year is no exception. The Los Angeles Almanac reports that, as of today, only 0.02 inches of rain have fallen in downtown this month—a number totally in line for the season and not unusual given the usual summer pattern. Daytime highs are hovering around 29 degrees Celsius, with no significant rainfall on the horizon and little humidity to speak of, according to long-term averages referenced by Weather2Travel. This means rain barrels are staying empty, but it also means Angelenos can count on clear skies for their Independence Day barbecues and beach days.

On the public health and water quality front, there’s been extra scrutiny this summer following the major urban wildfires earlier in the year. In response, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board has been actively sampling ocean water at 12 area beaches since January. They’re testing for contaminants like heavy metals and organic pollutants, substances known to surge in run-off after wildfires. According to the board’s own statements, results so far have not shown pollutants at levels that would threaten swimmers or beachgoers, though environmental scientists stress continued vigilance and ongoing data collection as coastal conditions shift.

For tap water, L.A. continues to benefit from a diversified supply, drawing from the Owens River, Northern California, the Colorado River, and a smaller share from local groundwater. The city’s water conservation efforts remain impressive: Angelenos now use less water per person than they did five decades ago, despite a much larger population. LADWP encourages everyone to keep up their conservation habits, offering rebates for efficient appliances and programs to help businesses save water.

With climate variability always a factor in Southern California, city leaders and scientists alike remind us that while the water situation is positive right now, residents need to stay engaged and take part in shaping future water management policy, including input on the next Urban Water Management Plan. New infrastructure, expanded stormwater capture, and continued conservation remain crucial as the city looks ahead.
