What's Wrong with the
Arroyo Seco "Water Reuse" Program?

• What water is being reused?
• Not a Nature-Based program
• South Pasadena does not have a water right to divert from the Arroyo Seco
• Arroyo Seco is a fully appropriated stream
• Inadequate outreach to neighbors and public
• Failure to consult indigenous people
• Failure to consider input from community meetings
• Failure to treat pollution at the source
• Failure to reflect hydrology findings
• False claims about water rights and groundwater benefits
• Violates Los Angeles parkland
• Failure to incorporate previous planning
• Failure to conform to Pasadena's Arroyo Seco Master Plan
• Project will create new barriers for fish and wildife
• Why doesn't Pasadena admit why it lost the lawsuit with the Save San Pascual Park neighbors?
• This is a shameful violation of Environmental Justice

Don't Degrade the Arroyo – Restore It
