Digester Sludge Leaks

Leaks Stopped, Cleanup In Progress

Between Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Digester Battery E at Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant experienced leaks. The leaks have been stopped, and staff are actively engaged in the cleanup and drainage process to enable a thorough investigation of their cause. We will proceed with any necessary repairs.

Our fenceline monitoring system continues to demonstrate compliance with H2S levels. That said, we plan to assess the aforementioned leaks to determine whether they might be a cause for odors.

Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. We appreciate your understanding as we work to investigate and remedy this issue.

Updates will continue to be provided! If you have any questions, please contact the LASAN Community Outreach Team at (213) 485-3221, or at LASAN.CleanWater.Outreach@lacity.org.
