Valleywide : DWP to Discuss Plans for Improving Water
The Department of Water and Power has scheduled four community meetings to discuss conceptual plans for improving water quality at the city reservoirs in Encino and Stone Canyon.
To comply with more stringent regulations for water exposed to surface water runoff by the beginning of 2003, DWP officials are considering three plans, including construction of a water treatment plant, pipelines or tunnels off reservoir property.
“We want to lay out the different concepts and get community input about public health, cost, reliability, environmental concerns and how to balance them,” DWP spokesman Stephen Ott said.
All the meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. with an hourlong open house to allow one-on-one discussion among residents and DWP staff. A 30-minute DWP presentation will follow. The meetings will end with public comment.
The meetings will take place tonight at the Encino Women’s Club, 4924 Paso Robles Ave., Encino; Thursday at the Airtel Plaza Hotel, Concorde Ballroom I and II, 7277 Valjean Ave., Van Nuys; Nov. 1 at the Stephen S. Wise Temple Chapel, 15500 Stephen Wise Drive, Los Angeles; and Nov. 7 at the Mountain Gate Country Club, dining room, 12445 Mountain Gate Drive, Los Angeles.
For more information, call Ott of the DWP at (213) 367-4187.
