Pure Water Los Angeles is a transformative engineering initiative designed to provide a new, sustainable, local water supply for the City of Los Angeles. This effort is powered by people and a promise to the next generation. Today, women are leading many essential components of the program.
During Women’s History Month, Pure Water Los Angeles comes to life through the unique journeys of three women at LADWP. Civil Engineers, Brenda Mata, Flor Hernandez Torres, and Erin Maciel share their stories rooted in sustainable water management, environmental stewardship, and a commitment to education. They’re motivated by their families and honor their memories of water and the environment, which is what makes them like water, resilient and adaptable to challenges.
Their passion and dedication to the next generation is evident in their work. Creating a resilient water future for Los Angeles is a difficult undertaking, but when it’s done for the right reasons, history will show leading with sustainability and innovation is a strong path forward.
