Local Group Envisions Pool to Replace Silver Lake Reservoir
A new gathering of community members wants to see the Silver Lake Reservoir transformed into a swim complex following the completion of a new massive underground reservoir in about five years.
A new community group is forming with the goal of converting the Silver Lake Reservoir into a massive swim complex complete with a pool and a sandy beach, Curbed LA reports.
At the helm of the movement is Swim Silver Lake, which is in its formation stages in response to federal regulations to do away with open-air reservoirs.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power already has plans to build two massive underground reservoirs by the end of 2018 and a swimming complex is what the group would like to see fill the empty Silver Lake Reservoir.
Swim Silver Lake was founded by local resident Catherine Geanuracos.
