GREATER LOS ANGELES COUNTY (GLAC)
Highlight
Regional Tap Water Quality Testing Program
During the Strengths and Needs Assessment, WaterTalks communities across the region expressed widespread distrust and concern about the quality of tap water. As a result, WaterTalks worked with local CBOs to research and design a program that incorporates community organizations as a means to help residents test their water, and have greater understanding of water supply issues. This resulted in a major education tool called “The Path to Tap”, training of local organizations in how to test water and work with a lab to get results, and fundraising proposals to help one or more of the WaterTalks partners pilot the program in one or more LA communities.
The Watertalks Needs Assessment Report
The Needs Assessment Report summarizes data and analysis of community input regarding water-related needs and issues. Input was received through outreach to communities and institutions, including surveys and community engagement events in 2019-2020.
