Reservoir in Pacific Palisades was out of commission when fire started

 


Reservoir in Pacific Palisades was out of commission when fire started

A 117-million gallon reservoir in one of the Los Angeles communities ravaged by wildfires was out of commission when the fire started in the area on Tuesday, our partner network NBC News reports. 


The Santa Ynez Reservoir in the Pacific Palisades has been closed for repairs after a covering designed to preserve water quality tore. The LA Times first reported that the reservoir was offline.


The reservoir's status may have limited the water system's ability to provide consistent pressure for firefighters, but Marty Adams, a former general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said it is unlikely to have made a significant difference in the battle against the Palisades Fire, which has burned through 21,000 acres so far.


"It was out of service. I don't know exactly how long it's been out of service," Mr Adams said. 


During firefighters' response to the Palisades Fire, some high elevation fire hydrants dried up, hampering efforts to fight the blaze. 


Mr Adams, who retired about eight months ago, said the reservoir could have preserved some additional water pressure to fight the fires, but that it's unlikely it would have substantially changed outcomes. 


"If Santa Ynez would have been in service, you probably would have had some help in keeping the pressures up. It wouldn't have been a panacea. It probably would not have lasted forever," Mr Adams said.
