More than four million Los Angeles County residents will be forced to go without outdoor watering for more than two weeks starting Tuesday, as Metropolitan Water District crews work to repair a leaking pipeline.

The fixes are expected to take up to 15 days, after a major delivery Upper Feeder pipeline that brings water to Southern California from the Colorado River was found to have a large leak. After a temporary fix earlier this year, MWD officials are set to repair the pipeline in its entirety.

"We can't let this pipe continue to have this temporary patch," said Brent Yamasaki, Chief of Operations with MWD."We're really concerned about the reliability, we've been able to make it through this time. But, we want to do this in a very organized and planned fashion." "The temporary fix we have in place has allowed us to operate the pipeline at a reduced capacity over the summer, but it is not intended to last long-term," said MWD General Manager Adel Hagekhalil at a news conference last week."We cannot delay this repair any further -- doing so risks a failure and the potential for an unplanned, emergency situation."
