La Forest Water Storage Reservoir Project

The La Canada Irrigation District is initiating the La Forest Water Storage Reservoir Project to enhance domestic water storage and fire flow capabilities within Pressure Zones 1 and 2. Located in La Canada Flintridge, California, approximately 750 feet north of the terminus of La Forest Drive, the project involves the construction of a 2.0 million gallon above-ground welded steel water reservoir. Additional infrastructure improvements include the development of a new paved access road, the installation of retaining walls, and the implementation of new stormwater facilities featuring a drain pipe. The project was approved on July 14, 2026, following the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. This determination concluded that the project would not have a significant environmental effect, provided that specific mitigation measures and a monitoring plan are followed. Administrative oversight is managed by General Manager Justin Bailey, and the project is classified under NAICS code 237110 for heavy and civil engineering construction.
