The New York Times quoted SPPD Senior Fellow Richard Little of the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development in an article on recent water main breaks around Los Angeles. "I am one person who thinks there is something odd going on here," Little said, referring to a theory that fluctuations in water pressure related to the city's conservation efforts could be putting added stress on the city's pipelines. Little is director of the Keston Institute for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy.
