As it says, the jokes just write themselves. :)
Is a bevy of black balls – 96 million to be exact – a crucial solution in helping California manage its calamitous drought?
On Monday, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti deployed the final 20,000 of the 96 million “shade balls” onto the surface of the city’s 175-acre, Sylmar-based reservoir, completing the final stage of the $34.5 million Los Angeles Department of Water (LADWP) attempt to protect the region’s water quality.
“In the midst of California’s historic drought, it takes bold ingenuity to maximize my goals for water conservation,” Garcetti said, claiming that the initiative saves taxpayers millions. “This effort is emblematic of the kind of the creative thinking we need to meet those challenges.”
