After Two Years Without Water, The Tap Will Be Turned On Again At Silver Lake Reservoir

Water will once again start flowing today into the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs after having sat dry and empty since 2015. A ceremony marking the return of water to the reservoirs will be held at 5 p.m., where Councilmen David Ryu and Mitch O’Farrell will help open the valve releasing the first water running into the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex, starting at the smaller Ivanhoe Reservoir. Water will then start filling into the Silver Lake Reservoir in approximately two weeks.
