Almost 20 years ago, in 2004, voters in Los Angeles approved the expenditure of a half-billion dollars for a new initiative to manage and reclaim stormwater in the city. The initiative was called “Proposition O” and received approval from an overwhelming majority (76%) of voters, more than the two-thirds required for passage. Polluted stormwater, including bacteria and trash, was increasingly becoming a detriment to city water sources, beaches and the ocean.
