Below are the most recent updates on the situation with the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, which is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles:

• Bill AB 1216 passed the Senate Floor Vote and is currently on Governor Newsom's desk for consideration to be signed into law. Track the bill's most recent language and status here.
• A contractor for Hyperion has begun replacing the tank covers over Primary Batteries C and B. The replacement work will take place on weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and will last until the end of December 2023. During the work, old covers will be lifted up, which may release some odor.
