More than $4.2 million will be invested in renovating the irrigation system at the Los Amigos Golf Course in Downey.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe said the existing irrigation system is more than 30 years old, adding that the county will be introducing a new automated system. It will establish a reclaimed water connection and pump house to irrigate the golf course.
Two lakes will be drained, renovated and relined so they can be used as reservoirs for excess reclaimed water.
The golf course will remain open during the upgrades.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in August.
The project is funded by Golf Course Capital Improvement Project Funds, which are collected with every greens fee and can only be used on the course where it is collected. Additional funding comes from the Fourth Supervisorial District Capital Project funds and from a grant by the Central Basin Municipal Water District.
A reclaimed water irrigation system will eliminate the use of potable water for landscape irrigation.
