CITY OF LA DWP EXAM QUESTIONS CORRECTLY ANSWERED. 1. LADWP: WATER FACTS 2. LADWP: POWER FACTS the LADWP has worked hard to ensure that Angelenos receive a safe and reliable water supply. Conservation: - Residential ( Cash in your Lawn) - Landscape - Commercial Recycled Water: the LADWP is expanding its recycled water program to include both groundwa- ter replenishment utilizing advanced treated purified recycled water to recharge groundwater supplies and a large purple pipe distribution system. As the City's imported water supply becomes more critical, so does the need to expand our local, sustainable water resources, including water recycling. Water recycling otters a reliable, economically feasible and environmentally sensitive way to augment the city's water supplies. Recycling programs treat wastewater so that it can be used safely for irrigation and industrial purposes, groundwater replenish- ment, as a barrier against seawater intrusion and for other beneficial environmental uses.

POWER SOLAR Solar Pine Tree Wind Farm Continuing its ettorts to increase the amount of renewable energy provided to customers, LADWP will partner with AECOM to undertake a 10 megawatt (MW) (DC) utility-built photovoltaic plant to be built at the Pine Tree Wind Farm in the Tehachapi Mountains. The Pine Tree Photovoltaic Project (PTPVP) received the green light from the Board of Water and Power Commissioners in the fall of 2010. LADWP will install, own, and operate the system while AECOM will supply complete system engineering, high-performance solar panels, and balance of system components. The photovoltaic panels (PV) will produce DC power, which is then converted to AC power for delivery to LADWP customers. Slated to begin this Spring with completion expected by Fall of 2012 4. RENEWABLE EN- ERGY WIND: Wind turbines (windmills) use strong, steady wind to create electricity. Wind power emits no pollution and has very little impact on the land. Wind energy can be produced anywhere the wind blows with consistent force. Solar Power Solar cells, which are made of silicon, convert the sun's energy into DC, or direct current, electricity. The DC current is converted into AC, alternating current, provid- ing a clean form of energy to power homes and businesses. Hydropower Dams provide electricity by channeling water down a chute and over a turbine linked to a generator. Hydropower is considered renewable as long as it has no adverse impact on water quality and on the wildlife habitat. Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is generated by steam, which can
