Torrance : Water Line to Be Extended
The City Council approved extending a 12-inch water line from Rolling Hills Road to a methane-fired electric power generator being constructed near a former landfill in Rolling Hills Estates.
The generator, which will produce 13 megawatts of power, is located about 300 feet southwest of Torrance city limits on Hawthorne Boulevard.
The County Sanitation Districts, the agency building the generator, has agreed to pay the costs of extending the line. City officials estimate they will make a $35,000 annual profit by selling water to the agency.
