LA is burning

Not to be a Harbinger.

But a significant Quake at this time would seal the Deal.

Somehow, the complicit California media and ruling Democrat Party would successfully blame #OrangeManBad and will retain power. I hope I am wrong, but I know I am not.

60+% of California's voter base is a lost cause. And that's enough to keep the super-majority, and if it's not, they will keep counting votes until it is.

And what's hilarious is the reservoir has only had a cover for like 10 years, before that it was never covered. One of the 3 letter agencies forced it to get a cover.

What was the reason for adding the cover. Did it not need it? It seems like this cover is constantly needing repair?

I didn't have time to wait for incog to do the research for me so...

apparently, the cover was put on to comply with US regulations? Not California or LA?

"The Santa Ynez Reservoir Floating Cover Project was being constructed to comply with two United States Environmental Protection Agency water quality regulations:

    Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection By-Products Rule (S2DBPR)
    Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR)

In order to meet these two regulations, the LADWP did the following:

    Switch disinfectants from chlorine to chloramines
    Cover Santa Ynez Reservoir
"

times are changing
there were more than 20 blue counties in Cali that flipped red last November
but I don't think enough blues are switching red  statewide to make up for the reds who are leaving.

All of the reservoirs around here are lakes that are also used for recreation. I don't know how you would cover them.

Maybe they're meeting the requirements for those regulations down stream?

We have a huge reservoir up by Snoqualmie pass that is also used for recreation. I see people boating and fishing there all the time.

Most of them are in the middle of farm or pasture land.

I just looked it up and that reservoir is used for irrigation and to feed that Yakima river.    I don't think it's used for drinking water.

They are used for recreation but they were built primarily for water control. They hold or release water below normal pool as they see necessary.

Clarification.

The already overwhelmed LAFD would be decimated.

And So Cal would be back in the Stone Age.

I believe they add covers to help mitigate evaporation and also to protect it because it was identified as a "soft target" for terrorism. Anyway, a large body like that could easily lose >1/4" per day in the summer-time through evaporation.

And why they had to drain it to change the cover, only a government bureaucritter could come up with that fantastic plan of attack.

These entrenched government critters are fucking morons I swear. If they did not have the unlimited resources of OUR money to rely on for EVERYTHING... even their jobs... they would be homeless.

Many of them are also used for drinking water. Wichita gets ours from Cheney reservoir.

For sure. We get our drinking water from the Missouri river but places in Kansas that don't have a steady flowing river rely on reservoirs.

[mowens]

What we call a river here people in Tennessee call a crick. A friend I new from there kept talking about a crick by his house. It was the Arkansas river. By the time it gets to us Colorado and western Kansas have taken most of it.

I'm moving back to Cali this summer. I'll fix it.
