You had one job. It seems every one of the leaders of California failed their citizens.

I doubt the tanks were full to begin with. How much water do they store in the tanks? At what rates can they be refilled? How many hydrants were being used from any given storage tank? How many cubic feet per minute will a fire hose use? I’d like to see the math. if the tanks are full, I have a hard time believing they ran dry. Unless of coarse the pumps were not working

They got the DEI hire correct.

Do any of the California voters remember this?

Any time I see this, it pisses me off. Because it completely understates the problem.

This problem started in 1970. California population was around 20m.


Since 1970, California has seen limited construction of new major reservoirs. The last significant reservoir built was the New Melones Reservoir in 1979. Here are some key points regarding reservoir development in California post-1970:

New Melones Reservoir: Completed in 1979, this was the last major dam and reservoir built in California, located on the Stanislaus River.

Diamond Valley Lake: Although not a new reservoir from scratch, it was constructed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in 1999 to store water for Southern California. It's significant for being the largest surface reservoir in Southern California.

Los Vaqueros Reservoir: Originally built in 1998, it was expanded in 2012 by the Contra Costa Water District, increasing its capacity but not adding a new reservoir.

Sites Reservoir: This has been proposed since the 1950s, but it has not yet been constructed. It's currently in the planning and approval stages, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and completion by 2032. This would be the first major new reservoir in nearly 50 years if completed.



In summary, no major new reservoirs have been built in California since 1979. The focus has been more on expanding existing ones or planning new projects like Sites Reservoir, which are still in the pipeline.

Smelt, L.A. Fires, and Water Supply. You're looking at the last 30 days of Delta outflows, where freshwater runs into the sea daily, instead of being captured into storage through pumping. As a reminder, when pumping is reduced, outflow is increased. Less than 2,500 cfs per 24 hours is needed to keep saltwater out of the Delta.



On Dec. 19, 2024, state pumping was reduced down to 5%-6% of capacity to protect smelt that "could be" migrating. You can see the increase in outflow below. I say "could be" because the last time a smelt was collected in a Fall Trawling Survey was in 2017 when ONE smelt was found, yet severe pumping restrictions are still practiced as if they exist in abundance anyway. State Pumping reductions affect the capturing of water for Southern California, which is why we are hearing about the correlation between water for the L.A. Fires and smelt.



Outflows are shown in cubic feet per second (cfs). To turn this into information that matters to the public, multiple the cfs times 2, to get acre-feet of outflow per 24 hour period. Then multiple acre-feet times 11 to compute the number of people who could have been supplied for a year with the excess water. For example, yesterday's outflow was 48,023 cfs, or about 96,046 acre-feet. Multiplied by 11, we lost enough water in 24 hours to meet the needs of 1,056,506 people for a year, to protect smelt nobody can find. This is YOUR water supply!



You can also see the lower outflows at the top, before the pumping reductions, which were obviously plenty to keep saltwater out of the Delta.

Why the fuck would ANYONE approve a project like this ^^^ knowing that we could divert those funds to something useful......like solving a water shortage issue in SoCal.

Bullet train? Is that an assult train? Sounds scary !

 

[FreeBird236]

There's not nearly enough information to make any kind of judgements, but I will say this. 3 million gallons of water isn't shit, especially being split between what sounds like 3 zone elevations. Sounds like your typical 1950's water system that's never been upgraded. When I retired 15 years ago our water district had 17,000 service connections and 90 million gallons of storage with more reservoirs planned.

Pacific Palisades

water reservoir- 117 million "Empty for maintenance, great timing"

sure could of helped IMO

Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline and empty when firestorm exploded

A reservoir in the Palisades that holds 117 million gallons of water was offline this month for previously scheduled maintenance.

A friend of mine at DWP told me that the reservoirs for the hydrants can't hold more than 20% or they will fail. They've known for a long time.

 

[Sandlord]

117 million gallons would have likely helped, if they hadn’t drained the reservoir

How about the bullshit excuse of it being drained due to it waiting for the cover to be repaird? yeah right good story! Why does it need to be covered? They are starting to reclaim sewer water and inject it back into the states drinking water supply all while letting our fresh water flow out to sea to save a damn fish

 

[HST4ME]

Dunno why you guys didn't have enough water, you have three dykes.
