The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will install a 110-million-gallon underground water tank near Griffith Park to replace the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs in the city's drinking water system. The reservoirs will be taken off-line and replaced by this new storage tank to improve water quality and delivery.
The buried reservoir is part of the larger Headworks Spreading Grounds project. Extensive native landscaping and a 4-megawatt hydroelectric power plant are also included in the project.
Plans for the Headworks Reservoir are currently in the design phase. Construction will begin in November 2010 and finish by November 2013.
