1hUPDATE: Spencer Pratt has just stunned America by announcing that the water reservoir drained ahead of the LA fires is STILL EMPTY NEARLY 2 YEARS LATER under Mayor Karen Bass
The reason: "Torn tarp"
PRATT: "You cannot be allowed to maintain any position in public office if you do this. Not sure if I've ever seen such egregious incompetence in all my life."

California deserves what it gets
Where are all of the Commie Utopias?
California deserves what it gets
Good and hard.
There is a huge empty reservoir in Rolling Hills Estates near Palos Verdes Drive North and Western Avenue. Taken offline in 2022 for upgrades or something.
“Much Ado...”...LADWP’s Santa Ynez Reservoir (drinking water) was offline for repair well before the Palisades Fire (a year before/2024) and recently returned to service (June ‘26):
https://ladwpnews.com/ladwps-santa-ynez-reservoir-returns-to-service/
Why is there two water lines in Kalifornee; One for potable water and the other for fire hydrants?
—————-
I got ZERO response.
Maybe it is a Texas Thing to have one main water line to serve all purposes?
Unbelievable.
Intentional sabotage.
She’s obviously a commie traitor.
Not sure where you got that idea (separate lines for fire hydrants and drinking water) all the cities I know of on the West Coast have just “water lines” (drinking & fire hydrants). L.A. specific info...see the “Water Main Flushing” section of the following link...(drinking water lines are flushed thru fire hydrants):
I agree with you.
NO ONE could be that incompetent.
It’s INTENTIONAL.
By now, anyone with half a brain must see that the US Islamocommie party is in bed with our enemies and wants to hasten the total demise of America.
They’re demonic…..crapped out of satan’s bunghole.
This thread reinforced it.
Does any one else think it is Abby Normal to have a separate water line for fire hydrants?
I have asked the question several times with ZERO response.
In Texas, water lines are flushed through fire hydrants.
According to this article State to probe why Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline, empty when firestorm exploded:
Excerpt:
Officials said that the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed since about February for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117-million-gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades for nearly a year...
Emptying of the reservoir began in February after a tear in the floating cover measuring several feet allowed debris, bird droppings and other objects to enter the water supply. DWP drained the site to avoid contamination and comply with water regulations.
DWP sought bids for the repair in April, at a cost of up to $89,000. In November, the utility signed off on a contract with a Lakeside firm for about $130,000, records show.
The status of the repairs is unclear. The DWP's employee union leader condemned the months-long wait to restore the reservoir.
"It's completely unacceptable that this reservoir was empty for almost a year for minor repairs," Gus Corona, business manager of IBEW Local 18, said in an interview with The Times.
"This work should have been done in-house, and they shouldn't have depended on a contractor to do it," he said. "I truly believe it's something that could have been avoided."
Joseph Ramallo, a chief communications officer for DWP, said the reservoir was scheduled to reopen in February.

“Dodged a Bullet” Because of the Timing of the Fire
Posted on November 13, 2024 by Sue
EXCERPT:
Firefighters worked to stop the fire from going over the hill to the enclave of homes on the other side. The reservoir [Santa Ynez Reservoir], which appears dry is in the background.A five-acre brush fire was reported in the Palisades Highlands near the Santa Ynez Reservoir and adjacent to Topanga State Park at 9:50 a.m. on November 13.
According to LAFD this is “slow moving in heavy brush. It is topography driven (not wind) with steep slopes.” The cause of the fire is under investigation.
An hour later, LAFD reported that more than “60 firefighters on scene have stopped all forward progress. The precisely targeted, rapid water drops from LAFD Air Operations combined with the firefighter’s aggressive fire attack on the ground held the fire to approximately one acre (revised from initial size).”
Los Angele Fire Department Margaret Stewart told KTLA News that this area is a challenge because there are no hydrants, but that water tenders (large trucks carrying water) were being sent to the area.
“Fortunately, we’re not in a Santa Ana event,” she said, “but the moisture level in our vegetation is critically low.”
Bruce Schwartz captured this photo of a water-dropping helicopter at the Highlands fire on around 9:50 a.m. on November 13.® Sue Pascoe, Circling The News, Inc. and www.circlingthenews.com, 2017-2024.

Question. What does it take to file criminal dereliction of duty for Bass’s failure to perform her lawful duties?
Exactly, as I stated in my post...”drinking water lines = hydrant lines” in all the cities in CA I know of.
LADWP (L.A. water):
“Water main flushing is a process by which our pipes are cleaned by forcing water through the main at high speeds, then expelling the water from the main, usually through a fire hydrant. Flushing improves water quality by removing sediment that can cause water to appear dirty or discolored. Water main flushing may also improve the water’s taste and smell.”
Democrats are great at fixing things. Fixed education. Fixed healthcare. Fixed the weather. Fixed energy. Fixed LA water problem. Now for their next trick; going to fix AI.
The reservoir had to have the tarp to keep debris out, when the tarp needed repair, there was a kerfluffle over who would repair it - a union based government outfit, or somebody else. They emptied the reservoir because it was not suitable for drinking by their lights. Something like that, is the gist of it.
Clown World.
The problem is the other person is even worse than her.
