Another interesting note.
Last night I was taking to my friend on the phone who lives in Henderson, NV. She asked a question that makes a good point- Does LA get water from Lake Mead? The answer is YES.
For decades, I’ve visited Las Vegas and got a chuckle seeing the LA DWP trucks in Clark County, NV. The city of LA operates (own or lease?) facilities at Lake Mead and sends water to LA. It’s so big, that the city has their own city employed Security Officers on-site. How much land, building and water is involved, I don’t know. Additionally, there is a city of LA DWP “Victorville Switching Station in the Lacerne Valley area in the high desert.
So this leads me to ask- when the fires broke out in LA proper, did a call go out to the LA facility at Lake Mead to boost the water pressure to the LA city area??
I took this pic last year at my Henderson, NV hotel of a fairly new LA DWP truck in the parking g lot…
