Public learns about water issues

WATER WORLD-- Left, Deborah Lowe describes wastewater recycling procedures at the Tapia Water Reclamation Facility in Calabasas. Members of the public were invited to take a tour of the water plant last weekend. Below, Samantha Tsai, 10, of Westlake Village leans over a large tank full of koi. The fish are placed in recycled wastewater to demonstrate its cleanliness. Recycled water is used for irrigation. Potable water piped in through the California Aqueduct is used for drinking.
