[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8889476, member: 683408"] The reservoir was closed due to damage. [I]"The Department of Water and Power in February 2024 shut down the Santa Ynez reservoir because of [URL='https://archive.ph/X4dNP']damage to its cover[/URL]. The reservoir supplies drinking water to the city, so it’s subject to environmental regulations to prevent contamination." "The department [URL='https://www.ladwpnews.com/ladwp-windstorm-response-update-saturday-january-11-2025-1030-am/']said the repairs[/URL] are "subject to the city charter’s competitive bidding process which requires time." The [URL='https://archive.ph/oh6pr']Los Angeles Times[/URL] reported a $130,000 contract was issued to a Lakeside firm to repair the cover. The Santa Ynez capacity is 117 million gallons.

IF the area in question had 100 tower/tanks that held 1,000,000 gallons each, they could be filled 30 times by the Hollywood Hills res. At a maximum rate of 1,000,000 gallons per day turnover, that's 30 straight days of water. The Santa Ynez would have been wiped out in a day based on those numbers. We would know the number of towers/tanks if Old_Slapper would tell us, but he won't. So assuming the high side of 100 towers and 30 days of water available from the Hollywood Hills reservoirs, how would the Santa Ynez have made a difference? If one bomb can wipe out a city, will 5 bombs wipe out the city "better"? What do these stats mean? [ATTACH type="full" width="536px"]62882[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
