A four-megawatt hydroelectric power plant will be constructed as part of the Headworks Spreading Grounds project adjacent to Griffith Park. The plant will make use of water pressure entering the site, and serve as a source of "green" energy for the people of Los Angeles.
The larger Headworks project centers around a 110-million-gallon underground reservoir that will replace the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs in the city drinking water system.
The power plant is currently in the design stage and is proceeding on schedule.
Construction will begin in October 2010 and finish by November 2013.
