The Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant Solar Installation features 1,485 panels that are expected to generate 404 kilowatts—or 581,500 kilowatt-hours per year—enough clean, solar power to serve 90 homes. The solar development is one of the many “green” projects and programs initiated by the Bureau of Sanitation, which continually provides reliable service that protects public health and the environment. The project benefited from a $1.4 million solar rebate provided by LADWP, which funded over half the project cost, as part of its Solar Incentive Program. The program aims to encourage development of solar power on customer rooftops to increase the amount of clean, renewable energy serving Los Angeles, and help reduce the City's overall carbon footprint.

LADWP advises drivers that traffic may be affected between the Port of Long Beach and the Haynes Generating Station on Second Street in Long Beach tonight between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. while a large trailer truck delivers heavy equipment. The load is part of LADWP's Haynes Generating Station Repowering Project, which involves replacing two aging generators and changing the plant's cooling system from ocean water to dry cooling.

March 28-29, 2012, between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
Arrival at Haynes is expected at approximately 2:00 a.m. 
Once at the entrance to Haynes on Second Street, traffic will be temporarily halted. People in the area may notice activity and bright lights.

A trailer truck hauling the load will leave from Pier F in the Port of Long Beach, follow Pico Avenue north to Anaheim Way, merge with Pacific Coast Highway heading south and then head east onto Second Street to the Haynes plant.

Haynes Generating Station is a natural gas and steam power plant built in the mid-1960s. The station currently has seven power generating units with a combined capacity of 1,600 megawatts- enough to power approximately 1 million homes. The Haynes Generating Station Repowering Project will replace Units 5 and 6 with six 100 megawatt quick-start turbines capable of delivering full power in just 10 minutes, as opposed to the day and a half ramp-up time required by older units. The new units will be cooled without ocean water, instead using structures known as “dry cooling" towers.

Massive power turbines and generating equipment illustrating the transformation of L.A.'s power supply. The fast-start turbines will help LADWP achieve its renewable energy goals and maintain reliability of power generation. Dignitaries and media will be able to view the first deliveries of this giant equipment.

Attendees must wear hard shoes (no open-toed shoes) and pants recommended. LADWP will provide mandatory hard hats and vests on-site to all media and visitors. Parking will be on premises. Directional signage will direct guests to the event space.

A large trailer truck, escorted by the California Highway Patrol, will be delivering heavy equipment to LADWP's Haynes Generating Station tonight in Long Beach.

LADWP officials, joined by 4th District Councilmember Tom LaBonge, will break ground on the construction of the Headworks Reservoir, a critical component of LADWP's plan for compliance with drinking water regulations. The project's construction is made possible by the funding provided the Water Quality Factor increase approved by the Los Angeles City Council on February 1, 2012.

The construction of Headworks Reservoir represents a convergence of LADWP’s water history and future. The 43-acre site was once the starting point of Los Angeles’ water system, when Los Angeles was supplied by water diverted from the Los Angeles River. Now, more than a century later, with drinking water quality regulations calling for the removal of open-air reservoirs, LADWP is returning to the Headworks site to construct two buried underground reservoirs with a combined capacity of 110 million gallons that will allow Silver Lake and Ivanhoe Reservoirs to be removed from service. The construction of Headworks Reservoir will allow LADWP to meet drinking water quality compliance deadlines, and continue to uphold the quality and reliability of the city’s drinking water supply.
