>> Huell: WELL HELLO EVERYBODY I'M HUELL HOWSERER.
AND HERE WE'RE ON THIS BEAUTIFUL MORNING.
WE'RE WALKING IN THE MORNING SUN WITH?
>> GWYNN.
>> AND STEVE COAL WITH THE DWP.
>> Huell: AND WE'RE STANDING ON THIS BIG PIECE OF CONCRETE WHICH IS A DAM WHICH HAS CREATED RIGHT OVER HERE, WHAT IS AFFECTIONLY LOAN AS LAKE HOLLYWOOD.
AND STEVE THE PEOPLE OF DWP.
>> THIS IS OUR LOWER HOLLYWOOD RESERVOIR.
>> Huell: I DON'T THINK THAT SOUNDS AS GOOD AS LAKE HOLLYWOOD.
GIVE US A HISTORY OF THIS PLACE.
YOU WERE KIND OF FILLING ME ON THIS PLACE.
>> THIS DAM THAT WE'RE STANDING ON RIGHT NOW, WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY WILLIAM MOHALE MOHALAND AND IT WAS COMPLETED IN 1924.
IT WAS A SISTER DAM.
IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF CONCRETE GRAVITY ARCH DAM.
WHAT WE DID BACK THEN, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED AFTER SAINT FRANCIS DAM FAILED.
THEY LOWERED THE RESERVOIR AND AT THAT POINT THEY CREATED THE UPPER LEVEL HOLLYWOOD RESERVOIR.
WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL LEVEL THAT USED TO BE IN HOLLYWOOD.
>> Huell: THAT SOUNDS TECHNICAL.
BUT WHEN THIS DAM WAS BUILT, YOU CREATED THIS BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE BACK HERE.
AND JANE, THAT'S WHERE THE HOLLYWOOD HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION COMES IN PLACE.
PEOPLE STARTED BUILDING HOUSES HERE JUST BECAUSE OF THE VIEW.
>> YES, BECAUSE WE HAVE A SENSE OF REMOTENESS IN DESPITE BEING LOCATED IN HOLLYWOOD.
PEOPLE HAVE LIVED HERE TO LIVE NEAR OR ON THE LAKE.
>> Huell: DO YOU LIVE NEAR THE LAKE?
>> UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE A LAKE BUT RIGHT ABOVE THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.
>> Huell: LAKE ADJACENT.
>> LAKE ADJACENT.
>> Huell: THERE IS THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN RIGHT THERE.
I GOT TO ADMIT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AFTER ALL THE YEARS I HAVE LIVED IN L.A., THAT I HAVE BEEN TO THIS LAKE.
AND THIS IS SPECTACULAR.
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE HOMEOWNERS LOVE THIS PLACE.
>> YEAH, WE DO.
AND WHEN IT WAS SUGGESTED A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO THAT THIS LAKE MIGHT BE COVERED, THE HOMEOWNERS ROWS IN PROTEST.
>> Huell: OH OH.
>> AS HOMEOWNERS DO.
AND RIGHT AROUND HERE THERE ARE THREE ASSICIATIONS THAT GOT TOGETHER TO START ASSICIATIONS WITH DWP.
AND YEARS LATER REJOINED WITH OTHERS ASSICIATIONS TO FORM AS THE COALITION TO PRESERVE.
>> Huell: BECAUSE I THINK DWP WAS GOING TO PUT A HOOD OVER OF THIS.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CUTTING SOME DRAINAGE BASICALLY ALONG THE RESERVOIR FOR PREVENTING MATERIAL FROM COMING IN HERE.
THE WATER SURFACE TOUR.
AND WHAT IT DOES IS BASICALLY SAYS WE EITHER HAVE TO COVER OR TREAT OR WATER, THAT'S EXPOSED TO POSSIBLE CONTAMINANTS.
>> SO DWP WAS LOOKING AT IT FROM A WATER STAND POINT.
>> CORRECT.
>> Huell: AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM ASTETICS, YOU WANTED TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, WE WANTED IT TO REMAIN PRETTY MUCH THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.
SO ME AND OTHERS THAT COME HERE CAN ENJOY IT.
>> Huell: THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
>> TRUE, WE GOT A TRIPLE WIN SITUATION.
WE PURCHASED A LOT OF PROPERTY OUT HERE, MILLIONS OF PROPERTY FROM A DEVELOPER THAT WAS GOING TO DEVELOP THIS LAND AND PUT A BUNCH OF HOUSES IN HERE.
AND IN RETURN FOR THAT, THE COMMUNITY ALLOWS US TO PLACE A LOT OF DIRT AND MATERIALS IN THAT AREAS.
WHICH WOULD HAVE COST US MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
>> Huell: AND THAT DIRT COMES FROM THE CONSTRUCTION THAT YOU'RE DOING, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN JUST A MINUTE.
BY PUTTING TANKS UNDERGROUND INSTEAD OF COVERING THIS ONE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, INSTEAD OF PUTTING A COVER UP WE DECIDED TO GO WITH STORE TANKS.
>> Huell: WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE IN JUST A MINUTE.
BUT BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE HAPPY.
>> WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT SOME THINGS BUT WE'RE A LOT HAPPIER THAN WE ARE.
>> Huell: YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THE HOMEOWNERS HAPPY.
LET'S WALK OVER HERE, WE GOT HERE JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, AND CAME OUT HERE AND LOOKED AND WHAT I SAW WAS THESE WONDERFUL BEARS ON THE LAND.
>> THAT'S CORRECT, THAT'S SOME OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE.
IT'S A VERY HARD ROCK.
SO WE'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE FOUNDATION LIKE WE WERE WITH SAINT FRANCIS DAM.
>> Huell: ISN'T IT WONDERFUL THAT THEY PUT THOSE.
THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT TODAY AN ARCHITECTURE DESIGN.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
THEY'VE GOT THE BEAR--ONE THING OVER HERE I WANT PO POINT OUT DURING THE PERIOD WHERE THE SAINT FRANCIS DAM FAILED, THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAM HERE.
AND THEY PUT A HUGE AMOUNT OF DIRT HERE.
THERE USED TO BE AN 800 DROP DOWN AND NOW THEY'VE BUILT ALL THESE DIRT ON TOP IT.
THEY WERE WORRIED BACK THEN THAT THE DAM MIGHT BREAK AND PUT THIS HERE.
>> Huell: SO THIS USED TO GO FURTHER DOWN AND THEY FILLED WITH EARTH TO SHORE IT UP A LITTLE BIT IN CASE IT MIGHT BREAK LIKE SAINT FRANCIS.
>> EXACTLY ABOUT 850 FEET.
>> Huell: AND THERE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF HISTORY THAT WE SPOTTED.
HERE'S THE ORIGINAL PLAQUE, HOLLYWOOD RESERVOIR, CAPACITY--GOOD GRIEF?
>> 2.5 BILLION GALLONS.
MAXIMUM DEPTH OF WATER 250 FEET.
MOHALEAND DAM.
1772 CUBIC YARDS OF CONCRETE.
WILLIAMIAM MOHALAND CHIEF ENGINEER.
BOY THIS DOES HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL LOOK TO IT HERE.
>> THAT'S TRUE, IT IS DEFINITELY A RESOURCE TO THE COMMUNITY.
VISUAL AND ASTETHICALLY.
WE HAVE OPENED IT UP TO PEDESTRIANS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT IN THE FUTURE.
ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WANT TO MENTION, AS FAR AS OUR COMMUNITY WORKING, WE PUT A 75 YEAR MONITORIUM.
>> Huell: SO THIS IS FOR THE NEXT 75 YEARS--WHO OWNS ALL THIS POINT WITH ALL THE TREES?
>> THAT'S OUR PROPERTY.
ALL OF THE PROPERTY THAT YOU SEE ALL THE TREES ON IS OUR RESERVOIR PROPERTY.
WE ALSO OWN A LOT OF THE HILL SIDES.
>> Huell: SO WE KNOW FOR 75 YEARS IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THIS.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> Huell: HERE'S SOME LADIES SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> Huell: I BET THIS IS A REGULAR JOG FOR YOU.
>> 50 MILES A WEEK AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE IT'S PRESERVED AND THERE IS A LITTLE FAMILY OF DUCKS WITH THEIR WIVES.
AND THE NESTING.
>> Huell: SO YOU ALL ARE NATURE PEOPLE.
>> TOTALLY TOTALLY.
>> COSMIC NATURE PEOPLE FROM THE 60s.
>> Huell: AND LAKE HOLLYWOOD IS THE PLACE TO BE?
>> YEAH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL UP HERE.
THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB TAKING CARE OF IT.
>> Huell: LET'S GET ONE MORE SHOT.
YOU MATE TO LEAVE THIS PLACE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
LAKE HOLLYWOOD EARLY IN THE MORNING.
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF L.A., A WONDERFUL PRESERVED PIECE OF NATURE THAT'S BEEN HERE SINCE WILLIAM MOHALAND BUILD THIS DAM BACK IN 1924.
>> THEY ARE LETTING DOWN THE PLANK.
AND NOW WE'RE HEADING INTO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AREA.
BOY, THIS IS--WHOA.
WHOA!
WE'RE ON THE--WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THING?
>> THIS IS OUR TOY ON TANK.
THE NORTH ONE.
WE'RE ON TOP OF THE ROOF RIGHT NOW.
>> Huell: SO WE HAVE COME--I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T FALL.
YOUR HONOR--YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A PERFECT SAFETY RECORD.
>> WE'RE PROUD OF THAT FACT.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS, WE'RE STANDING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF TWO HUGE CONCRETE RECESSSERVOIR--S. THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO REPLACE IN LAKE HOLLYWOOD.
>> THIS IS A 2, HUNDRED MILLION TANKS.
IT WILL TAKE YEARS USEING A WATER HOSE TO FILL ONE TANK.
>> 8 YEARS WITH A GARDEN HOSE.
>> PRETTY AMAZING TO THINK OF ALL THAT WATER GOING INTO THE TANKS.
>> Huell: THERE IS ONE OF THE TANKS, SO THEY'RE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TANKS.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
WE'RE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS HIGH GROUND WATER.
WE'VE DESIGNED THESE TANKS TO BASICALLY STAY UNDERGROUND.
>> Huell: SO YOU WILL NOT KNOW THESE ARE HERE?
>> NO, YOU WILL NOT.
>> Huell: HERE'S SOME OF THE EARTH THAT YOU MOVED TO PUT THE TANKS IN.
YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU'VE LANDSCAPED IT SO IT LOOKED NATURAL.
>> WE DID A LAND SKATING, A MAN THAT IS KNOWN FOR LAND FORM GRATING, YOU GET TO TO BLEND INTO THE CONTOUR.
YOU WON'T KNOW A LOT OF THIS IS HERE.
>> SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO STAND HERE ON DIRT AND NOT KNOW THIS IS UNDERGROUND.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DUCK DOWN HERE--.
>> Huell: LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
HERE'S THIS APPARATUS SPRAYING CONCRETE.
WE COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY, YOU'RE FIRST ACCIDENT.
>> YEAH, WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
WHAT THIS UNIT IS DOING, IT'S SPRAYING ON CREET ON TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TANK.
IT'S WRAPPED WITH 200 MILES OF STEEL CABLE.
AND THAT HELPS IT TO PULL IN.
>> Huell: WHERE ARE WE GOING.
WE CAN'T GO FROM ONE TANK TO ANOTHER.
>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TAKE YOU INSIDE THE TANK.
SO WE CAN LOOK AROUND.
WE'RE ABOUT 45 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND.
>> Huell: HOW DO WE GET INSIDE?
>> WE'RE GOING TO DOWN THE STAIRCASE.
>> Huell: INSIDE THIS TANK?
>> THAT'S CORRECT YOU'LL BE INSIDE THIS TANK.
>> Huell: OH MY GOSH.
THIS IS GREAT.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE THANKS BEFORE WE GO IN, IS AS I WAS MENTIONED THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR HIGH WATER.
THE WATER COULD WHEN THE TANKS ARE EMPTY POP THE TANKS OUT GROUND.
THEY WOULD FLOAT LIKE AN OIL TANKER FLOAT.
IF IT'S EMPTY, THESE COULD FLOAT.
SO WE PUT A LOT OF DIRT AROUND THEM.
AND THEY ARE ALSO REALLY THICK.
THEY ARE 3 AND A HALF FOOT WALLS AND FLOOR.
>> Huell: THIS ONE IS PULL OF WATER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THIS ONE IS IN SERVICE SINCE LAST WEEK.
>> Huell: ALL RIGHT LET'S GO DOWN.
WATCH YOUR STEP, STEVE, YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK THAT SAFETY RECORD.
OH MY GOSH, WE'RE GOING DOWN INTO THE BLACK HOLE.
WHOA!
HOW FAR DOWN?
>> ABOUT 42 FEET DOWN.
>> Huell: 42 FEET DOWN.
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S KIND OF A--ACTUALLY THIS IS PRETTY STERDY STERDY HERE.
WE'RE DOWN IN THIS AMAZING PLACE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S OUT OF SOME OLD EGYPTIAN MOVIE.
HOW MANY COLUMNS ARE WE TALK BG TALKING?
>> 250 COLUMNS.
>> Huell: JUST TO HOLD THE TANK UP.
>> YES AND ALL THE SOIL THAT GOES ON TOP IT.
AND SINCE WE'RE IN CALIFORNIA, WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE--WE'VE GOT TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR EARTHQUAKE.
>> Huell: WHAT IS THIS OVER HERE.
>> WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE COLUMNS ARE DONE AND NUMBERED PROPERLY.
YOU CAN SEE THE COLUMNS LAID OUT HERE.
YOU CAN BASICALLY FIT A FOOTBALL FIELD IF YOU WANTED TO.
IF WE GET RID OF THE COLUMNS, YOU CAN PLAY FOOTBALL IN HERE.
>> IT'S VERY HEAVY.
THE ROOF UP ABOVE ARE AT LEAST 2 AND A HALF FEET DEEP.
>> Huell: AND THIS WHOLE THING WILL BE FULL TO THE TOP?
>> YES, YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE WE'VE GOT OUR OVERFLOW STRUCTURES.
IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THOSE IN PLACE YOU CAN PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE ROOF THAT THE ROOF WILL POP UP.
>> Huell: SO THE WATER WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP WHERE THE GREEN CONE IS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Huell: AND THEN IT WILL STILL OVER THE CONE.
>> AND INTO OUR RESERVOIRS.
>> Huell: WOW.
AND WHERE DOES THE WATER COME FROM.
>> IT'S FROM THIS 6 FOOT INLAND LINE.
THE WATER WILL COME SHOOTING UP HERE WHEN WE TURN ON THE VALVES.
>> Huell: THAT'S A BIG PIPE.
LOOK AT THIS PIPE OVER HERE.
>> YEAH, THAT PIPE CAN FLOW ABOUT A 200 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND.
THAT'S A LOT OF WATER.
>> Huell: THAT'S A LOT MORE THAN THE GARDEN HOSE THAT WOULD TAKE HOW LONG?
>> ABOUT 8 YEARS TO FILL THIS PLACE.
>> Huell: I'VE NEVER BEEN INSIDE A WATER TANK THIS SIZE BEFORE.
THIS HAS BEEN SETTING SOME TYPE OF RECORD.
>> ARE PEOPLE COMING HERE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY?
>> THAT'S RIGHT WE'RE HAVING A LOST ENGINEERS COMING HERE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
THE LARGEST TYPE IN THE WORLD.
>> Huell: I SHOULD SAY WE'VE GOT TWO OF THEM, CAUSE THIS IS A TAXPAYER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES ARE PAYING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF OUR WATER.
>> Huell: SO WE JUST BOUGHT OURSELVES A LOT OF CONCRETE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, WITH THE CONCRETE IN HERE YOU CAN PAVE THE ROAD FOR TWO ROADS WIDE FOR 20 MILES.
AND BETWEEN THE TWO TANKS WE'VE GOT ABOUT 20 TONS OF STEELZ.
>> Huell: IF I NEED SOME FIGURES, I KNOW WHO TO HOOK UP WITH, YOU KNOW ALL THE FIGURES.
>> WE TRY.
>> Huell: WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE PLACES TO GO.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE OUT OF THE TANK, WE CAME BACK ON TO THE TOP OF THE TANK AND NOW STEVE IS TAKING US DOWN SOME MORE STEPS.
>> WE'RE COMING INTO OUR OUTLET VALVE.
WE'RE ABOUT 70 FEET FROM THE FLOOR.
THIS IS THE CONTROL CENTER FOR THIS WHOLE OPERATION.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS, WHAT IS ALL THAT?
>> YOU'VE GOT SOME BIG VALVES THERE.
WE CAN ISOLATE IN TWO DIFFERENT TANKS.
>> Huell: SO THIS IS KIND OF THE CONTROL CENTER RIGHT HERE?
>> THAT'S CORRECT, WE CAN CONTROL THOSE BY A PUSH OF THE BUTTON.
>> WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS PLACE?
>> THE FLOOR SLAB OF THIS VOLT, IT RESEMBLES A NUCLEAR SHELTER.
>> Huell: MORE FACTS AND FIGURES.
AND THAT'S THE WAY THINGS ARE IN THE?
>> INLAND OUTLET VAULT.
>> ONE MORE STOP AND OUR JOURNEY WILL BE COMPLETED.
OKAY.
NOW IT GETS INTERESTING.
>> MY NAME IS--.
>> MARC LOPEZ.
>>.
>> Huell: TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU'RE SAYING.
>> WE'RE SHUTTING A TWO INCH BUTTERFLY, THIS WILL SEND THE WATER UP TO A WATER RESERVOIR.
>> Huell: SO WE'RE DIVERTING THE WATER THAT'S GOING INTO THE ONE BIG TANK THAT'S FINISHED AND IT'S GOING TO COME UP HERE SO WE CAN SEE HOW MUCH WATER GOES IN THE TANKS.
>> CORRECT SIR.
>> Huell: YOU'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR HOW LONG?
>> AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THREE YEARS ON THIS PROJECT AND WITH THE COMPANY MORE.
>> Huell: SO YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF STORIES.
>> GOOD AND BAD STORIES.
>> Huell: LET'S JUST ABOUT THE GOOD ONES.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINISH.
>> IT FEELS GOOD TO COME TO THIS CONCLUSION.
THE BENEFITS ARE GREAT.
>> Huell: YOU'RE SAYING IT JUST HOW THEY TOLD YOU TO.
>> THAT'S HOW I FEEL.
>> Huell: HE JUST SAID A LOST GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE DWP.
>> THAT'S GOOD.
THEY'RE GREAT WORKERS.
>> Huell: THE SUPERVISOR ARE WORKING AWAY.
>> MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE RIGHT.
>> Huell: AND THIS GUY WHEN I DROVE UP, I SAID YOU DON'T WEAR A NEW SHIRT LIKE THAT DO YOU?
>> OH YEAH, EVERY DAY.
>> Huell: OH NO.
>> THERE IS A CERTAIN IMAGE WE HAVE TO UPHOLD JL.
>> >> Huell: DWP REALLY TAKES CARE OF YOU.
>> YEAH.
>> Huell: HOW MANY YEARS HAVE BEEN WORKING HERE?
>> FOR 21 YEARS.
>> Huell: AND THAT'S @ CLEANEST SHIRT HE'S EVERY WORN.
>> THIS THIS SECTION YES.
>> Huell: WITH ALL THE MONEY YOU'RE SPENDING ON THIS RESERVOIR, I'M SENDING MY CLEANING BILL TO YOU.
IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR ME TO SEND YOU MY CLEANING BILL.
>> I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN WORKOUT.
>> Huell: I'M SURE YOU CAN SEND AN EXPENSE BILL.
>> THEY'RE TURNING ALL THIS WATER OUT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO SEND THE WATER BACK IN THE UPPER RESERVOIR HERE.
>> Huell: THE WATER IS FLOWING.
NOW YOU SAID THIS DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON ALL THE WAY, STEVE.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
THIS IS NOT FULL FLOW HERE.
WE'RE RUNNING TYPICAL FLOW.
JOE AND THE REST OF THE GANG HAVE DIVERTED THE WATER IN HERE.
THE WAY IT USED TO BE WHEN WILLIAM MA HOLLAND HAD IT.
>> Huell: SO NOW INSTEAD OF GOING INTO THE RESERVOIR IT'S GOING INTO THE TANKS.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> Huell: WHERE IS THE WATER FROM THE RESERVOIR GOING TO GO?
>> WE'RE STILL GOING TO MAINTAIN THE WATER OF THE LAKE.
WE'LL ADD SOME WATER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THROUGH THIS OUTLET TO MAKE SURE THE RESERVOIR STAY NICE AND HIGH.
>> Huell: BUT THIS IS THE WATER THAT'S BEING DIVERTED FROM THE BIG TANK.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Huell: JUST TO SHOW US.
>> NORMALLY THIS IS GOING RIGHT INTO THE TANK.
>> Huell: CAN I PUT MY HAND IN THERE.
>> WE WOULD RATHER YOU NOT.
BUT WE SHOULDN'T--.
>> Huell: THERE ARE DUCKS OUT THERE.
>> WE'LL LET YOU GO AHEAD.
>> Huell: OH WOW.
>> IT COMES OUT WITH QUITE A BIT OF FORCE.
>> Huell: I WAS AFRAID TO PUT MY WHOLE HAND IN THERE.
>> YEAH, IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
>> Huell: THANK YOU FOR TURNING THE WATER FOR US.
>> Huell: YOU'VE BEEN WITH DWP.
>> 15 YEARS.
>> Huell: AND YOU?
>> 30 YEARS.
>> Huell: OH YOU'RE READY TO RETIRE.
>> Huell: AND HOW MANY YEARS?
>> 21 YEARS HLD.
>> Huell: AND HOW MANY YEARS 10 YEARS.
>> Huell: YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DWP AND THIS PROJECT IS JUST THE LATEST ON WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.
AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US LAKE HOLLYWOOD OR?
>> THE HOLLYWOOD RESERVOIR COMPLEX.
>> Huell: WELL WHATEVER NAME YOU CALL IT IT'S A WONDERFUL PART OF THE HISTORY AND CITY OF LOS ANGELES.
AND IT'S STILL GOING STRONG THE NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION WILL BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, ACTUALLY ONE IS OPEN NOW.
>> ONE IN OPERATIONAL NOW AND THE OTHER BEEN A FEW MONTHS.
>> Huell: SO THEY'LL BE READY FOR US TO CRANK UP THIS GREAT WDP WATER.
>> THE NEW TOYON TANKS.
>> Huell: WE HAVING ALL OVER THEM.
>> YOU WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME SWIMMING IN THERE.
BUT YEAH, I'M GLAD, YOU WERE ABLE TO GET HERE BEFORE WE COVERED THE TANKS.
BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST OPPORTUNITY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THEM.
THEY'LL BE BURIED FOREVER.
>> Huell: A BIT OF HISTORY.
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
THOKZ TO DWP FOR THIS LATEST CHAPTER OF WATER HISTORY.
