In response to questions from members of the Silver Lake Wildlife Sanctuary at a recent
Silver Lake Together community meeting, LADWP has agreed to work with wildlife experts
and the Sanctuary to be sure nesting herons and other species are not harmed during the
construction of the reservoirs’ aeration and recirculation systems. LADWP also agreed to
coordinate traffic control with LAPD.
LADWP presented the project plan for the systems that will maintain water quality in the
reservoirs, and DWP representative Susan Avila confirmed work on the project will begin
this spring and continue through mid-2022. LADWP maintains the open water bodies,
including control of algae growth and reduction potential odors from anaerobic (lack of
oxygen) conditions.
