Related: About this forumLA has captured nearly 5.5 billion gallons of water from storms since October 1
ABC7Mayor Karen Bass' office announced the estimate on Tuesday, saying it's enough to serve almost 68,000 homes for an entire year.
According to the National Weather Service, downtown Los Angeles received more than five and a half inches of rain in November, making it the 5th wettest November on record - that's dating back to 1877.
The DWP captured rain through stormwater infrastructure, residential rain barrels and cisterns, and large spreading grounds such as the Tujunga Spreading Grounds that help recharge underwater aquifers, also known as "groundwater banks.''
