Cleaner Water for Venice
There’s good news for beach goers in Venice. A new project is set to improve your beach water quality. A City of Los Angeles Proposition O Clean Water Bond-funded 14 million dollar project is about to happen in your back yard. This month, the Penmar Water Quality Improvement Project begins construction. The overall goal is to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from the Rose Avenue storm drain. Right now, that drain goes straight to the ocean, but after the project is completed, the runoff will be diverted to Hyperian Wastewater Plant for treatment. Aging infrastructure will also be rehabilitated.
