The Los Angeles Water Conservation Council is an informal organization of Los Angeles community organizations, the Mono Lake Committee, and other interested groups. The Council works together to promote water conservation and protect the environment. The following is a list of the Los Angeles community organizations which participate in the LA Water Conservation Council.  Several of these groups were also involved in the Ultra-Low Flush Toilet Program distributing low flow toilets in Los Angeles prior to the program ending in 2006.  Click on the hypertext for more information on each group, and feel free to contact the Mono Lake Committee if you have an interest in joining the council!
