Document Description
Note: Reference SCH# 2008011038.
The existing Redmont Pump Station was constructed in 1955 and serves the communities of Sunland and Tujunga in the City of Los Angeles by pumping and distributing water; it is owned and operated by the LADWP. The existing Redmont Reservoir, located at the same facility, was built in 1920, and acquired by LADWP in 1951. The proposed site for the new Redmont Pump Station and Tank Project is located at 10501 Redmont Avenue, the site of the existing Redmont Pump Station and Reservoir. This site is at the intersection of North Tujunga Canyon Boulevard and Summitrose Street in the City of Los Angeles, CA. An inspection in 1992 found that the reservoir liner and roof were in an insufficient condition. Although repairs were made, the inspection recommended that the reservoir be replaced entirely to ensure safety and reliability.
To correct the operational weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the existing Redmont Pump Station, the LADWP proposes to replace it. The partially buried reservoir will be replaced with a 468,000 gallon steel bolt-in tank, and the existing Redmont Pump Station will be replaced with a dual pressure zone pump station consisting of six electric motor drive pumps and one emergency internal combustion engine driven pump. The proposed replacement would improve the water system reliability in the Sunland-Tujunga community and would reduce the facility's operations and maintenance cost.
