Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will present a virtual town hall with updates about the Santa Ynez Reservoir on Jan. 14 from 5-6 p.m.

The link to register is here.

According to a December press release from LADWP, “the Santa Ynez Reservoir is currently filled to its normal operating level and has been back in service since June 25, 2025, following emergency repairs that were made to its cover after the Palisades Fire. While these repairs allowed the reservoir to resume normal operations, replacement with a new cover will provide stronger resilience, protect water quality, and ensure continued compliance with drinking water standards and regulations.

“LADWP has placed an order for a new floating cover and is in the planning and procurement stages of the replacement project. We will be conducting public outreach regarding the project and contingency measures prior to the project beginning in early 2026.”
