Tank Cover Measurement Activity
July 17 - July 28, 2023

Hyperion tanks at sunset

Starting July 17 until July 28, 2023, Hyperion will be conducting measurement activities of Primary Battery D. The measurements are needed for the fabrication of new covers for the tanks. Work hours will be limited between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during weekdays.

During the work, old covers will be lifted up for the accurate measurements which may release some odor.  In order to reduce the odor nuisance, only one cover will be removed at a time, and the cover will be installed back immediately after necessary measurements are taken.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email the Community Outreach Team at LASAN.CleanWater.Outreach@lacity.org.
