HOLLYWOOD : Reservoir to Be Closed This Week for Treatment
The Hollywood Reservoir will be closed for treatment until 6:30 a.m. Saturday, a Department of Water and Power official said Monday.
As a preventive measure before the hot summer weather, the 1.3-billion-gallon reservoir will be injected with chlorine to control algae growth that typically occurs when the temperature rises.
DWP officials began restricting public access at 6:30 p.m. Monday because workers will be setting up portable equipment on the perimeter road.
The reservoir will be removed from service during the treatment process, but there will be no interruption of water service.
