Purpose of the Project
The Parthenia Trunk Line (PTL) was part of the LADWP's aggressive Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to install new water system facilities or replace existing aging system components. The objective of the CIP was to ensure that the LADWP continues to provide a reliable and high quality water supply to the communities of the City of Los Angeles.
The PTL consisted of the installation of approximately 3.5 miles of 60-inch diameter welded steel pipeline in the San Fernando Valley. The new pipeline will be used to convey water between two major trunk lines. This enhances the water system reliability and allow for greater operational flexibility to move water through the system as demands require and also during planned or emergency outages.
Additionally, the pipeline is connected to the Tujunga Well Fields to provide supplemental water to the system as needed.
