Los Angeles Aqueduct Day is the least noted, most important nonexistent holiday in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — (Jan. 18, 2013) The Los Angeles City Council officially declared "2013: Year of the Los Angeles Aqueduct" today, joining the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in launching a centennial celebration to mark 100 years of continuous operation of William Mulholland's great engineering achievement that brings water to Los Angeles from the Owens Valley, 233 miles away.
The declaration, a City Proclamation, states, "the completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct 100 years ago is a significant historical event that led to the growth and prosperity of Los Angeles and Southern California, helped spur an economy that today rivals many nations' and supports a distinct culture synonymous with invention, creativity and entrepreneurship.
It was presented by Councilmember Jose Huizar along with Councilmember Tom LaBonge.
