: Legal Pad | LALauten, famed Normandy figure and SoCal water district general manager, passes away
By Richard Binder
John H. Lauten, who helped plan the invasion of Normandy as an Army captain during World War II and later became the first non-engineer to oversee the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, has died. He was 96.
Lauten earned a law degree at UC Berkeley and spent 13 years as an assistant city attorney in Glendale after the war. He became Fresno's city attorney in 1958.
In 1963, he joined the Metropolitan Water District as a legal counsel and retired in 1977 as general manager. Known as a no-nonsense leader, Lauten championed a water reuse study in 1977 that laid the groundwork for the MWD's current water recycling program.
He died of natural causes March 22 at an assisted-living facility in Simi Valley, according to his family.
