Metro & Central Area

The City of Los Angeles is committed to a sustainable water future that relies more on local water supplies than costly and unreliable imported water. The plan to increase local water resources includes groundwater replenishment using recycled water.

The Headworks Reservoir will replace the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs located at the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex, for the purposes of safeguarding and improving drinking water quality.

The La Mirada Ave. and Virginia Ave. Pipeline Replacement Project is a water system infrastructure improvement project that will replace 2,850 feet of pipeline along La Mirada and Virginia Ave.

As the City’s imported water supply becomes more critical, so does the need to expand our local, sustainable water resources, including water recycling.

LADWP crews will complete necessary maintenance work on the Rowena Reservoir ponds to clean and repair the
existing filtration system.

Silver Lake Reservoir Complex is an Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) water operations facility, which originated as the site of Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs built in the early 1900s as open reservoirs.

The Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) Bypass Project is part of LADWP’s compliance efforts to address updated State and Federal drinking water quality regulations.

The Silver Lake Restoration Project involves the construction of a new pipeline that will transport groundwater from the Pollock Wells as a new water source to refill the reservoirs.
