Open house leads to new water tank

Las Virgenes Municipal Water District will host a community open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sat., Nov. 14 to mark completion of the 5-million gallon Torchwood storage tank project at Las Virgenes Reservoir in Westlake Village

The event is open to the public. Complimentary refreshments and hot dogs will be served.

During the open house, visitors will be able to walk to the new tank and take photos of the reservoir site, speak with engineers about the project and take a guided tour of LVMWD’s Westlake Filtration Plant.

To access the facility, visitors can park on Three Springs Drive or on Torchwood Place and ride a free shuttle to the site.

The $10.7-million Torchwood tank is part of the district’s multi-year Backbone Improvement Program intended to provide better flows across the LVMWD service area, additional water reserves during times of peak demand and added operational flexibility in emergencies.

Projects under the Backbone Improvement Program have been built on a “pay as you go” basis, using financial reserves set aside for this purpose, while avoiding the added costs of borrowing.
