City Picks Four Sites for Sewage Facility
Choosing a Site
The Los Angeles Department of Public Works on Thursday released a report that identifies the alternative sites for a controversial septic waste collection facility at the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, which was built but never opened. The City Council will make the final decision as to where to build one or more facilities, choosing among five scenarios that involve different combinations of the four sites- the Tillman site and the three alternative sites.

The scenarios:
1. The existing facility at the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant would be the sole collection point of the city.
2. A facility adjacent to the East Valley Refuse Collection Yard in Sun Valley would be the sole collection point for the city.
3. A combination of two- sites: The Tillman facility and one at the Los Angeles- Glendale Water Reclamation Plant.
4. The Tillman facility and the Sun Valley site.
5. The Sun Valley site and a facility in Chatsworth.
