WATER AND POWER ASSOCIATES The behemoth of a book store began in a very small way in 1925 when Louis Epstein purchased a tiny bookshop that was actually attached to a gunsmith’s shop in Long Beach. The man who sold it to Epstein gave him some parting advice on buying used books: “Don’t ever pay more than 10 cents for any book.”. WATER AND POWER ASSOCIATES The conversion from total dependence on the zanja system for domestic water to an underground iron pipe water system began in 1867. Jean Louis Sansevain, a Frenchman who owned an extensive vineyard and winery on Aliso Street, was authorized by the City Council to lay 5,000 feet of iron pipe and to build a dam and reservoir. WATER AND POWER ASSOCIATES INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT CRITICAL WATER AND ENERGY ISSUES FACING LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA Our goal is to provide a solid source of objective information on water and energy issues facing Southern California and the West; to preserve the regional history of water and electricity and show its role in the development and growth of the city of Los Angeles; to disseminate knowledge of the rich and diverse multicultural history of the greater Los Angeles area; and also to assist in the preservation of the city's historic records. Because The Associates is an independent, membership-funded corporation, we are able to inform you, the public, about critical water and electric issues without constraints. Consequently, our members’ expertise is routinely sought by local and state officials, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, historians, authors, film makers, and many others as an informed, reliable resource.

Featured Museum Section 1: Early LA StreetlightsLet there be light!
The age of electricity took Los Angeles by storm. The city’s first experiment with electric lighting consisted of powerful arc lamps—“electric moons” – mounted on seven 150-foot masts throughout what is now downtown. As L.A.’s population exploded during the 1920s and 1930s, ornamental streetlights—popularly known as electroliers—became de facto real estate advertisements. Each neighborhood could be identified by the type of streetlights that ran up and down its streets. Today, with more than 400 different types of lamps scattered over nearly 470 square miles, LA is one of the most diverse streetlight ecosystems anywhere in the country. The Early Los Angeles Streetlights Section explores the evolution of streetlights from gas lamps to the highly efficient LED’s that we see today. It also highlights the beautiful streetlight designs that have illuminated this city throughout the last century.Click HERE

Featured Museum Section 2: Water in Early Los Angeles The old Pueblo de Los Angeles relied almost exclusively on the Los Angeles River for its water supply and thus its survival. In the early years water from the river was channeled through a distribution system of crude dams, water wheels and ditches. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, but it wasn’t until ten years later that the City, through a lease contract with the LA Water Works Co., completed its first water system.

ENSURING GRID RELIABILITY DURING TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE State mandated “Once-Through Cooling” regulations necessitate the replacement of existing coastal generation units. After numerous studies by experts in the field, staff recommended building new, lower-emitting natural gas fueled generation in the southern areas of the LADWP service area. Some environmental advocates, with a singular focus on implementing renewable power, have opposed this approach. The studies, however, found this to be the only feasible option for maintaining electric reliability. Other options, such as building additional High Voltage transmission which would take decades, are not feasible and do not address the need for local generation for grid stability and voltage support. Customers expect an endless supply of electric energy at their homes or businesses whenever they turn on a switch, start an air conditioner, or plug in an electric vehicle. And utilities have an obligation to serve, and must build, operate, maintain or procure all the wires, equipment, and generation needed to serve demand. All of these assets require large capital investments, have long lead times to implement, and often face various degrees of opposition. Few people are aware that when California experiences several days of state-wide prolonged heat, referred to as heat storms by grid operators, that on such days the wind rarely blows, yet power demand reaches peak levels...

THE DELTA WATER FIX - A KEY TO WATER RELIABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY The City of Los Angeles has grown to a metropolis of over four million people, due in large part to the availability of a safe and reliable supply of water. However, providing this supply took a tremendous amount of foresight, planning, and investment. Over 80 percent of the City’s water supplies originate from sources hundreds of miles away—about 54% from the State Water Project via the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta, 20% from the Eastern Sierra via the Los Angeles Aqueduct and 10% from the Metropolitan Water District’s Colorado River Aqueduct, The remaining 16 percent of the total supply comes from local groundwater and recycled water. Although the City’s population and economy have steadily grown, the sources of water have remained the same. Consequently, one of the greatest challenges facing the City is providing a reliable water supply while balancing a variety interests, including its commitment to protect and preserve the environment. This balancing act includes planning for the effects of climate change, mitigating against the risk of earthquakes, making proactive investments in local supplies, increasing water-use efficiency, and striving to keep water ratesaffordable...

LADWP HISTORICAL EXHIBIT COMING SOON! HISTORICAL RECORD COMMITTEE UPDATE The development of a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Historical Exhibit in the Hammel Building on Olvera Street has been approved by the Commissioners of LADWP and the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Monument Department (El Pueblo). This new Exhibit will include the relocation of the existing History of Water Exhibit (which has been closed because it was not accessible to people with disabilities), expanded exhibits highlighting the role of the Department in the founding and development of Los Angeles, and present information on the sustainability efforts being undertaken byLADWP.
The Hammel Building which fronts on Olvera Street and also includes access to North Main Street is particularly suited for this exhibit because it contains an exposed portion of the Zanja Madre(the original water
distribution system of Los Angeles). It also has sufficient space (2,600 sq. ft.) to greatly expand the current displays to cover the historical roles of water and power in the development of the City of Los Angeles, as well as allowing for rotating exhibits focusing oncurrent issues.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the agencies stipulates LADWP will provide up to $195,000 for capital improvements, design, installation, and on-going presentation of exhibits. El Pueblo will be responsible for coordinating the development of the exhibit; providing staffing consistent with all the other museums in El Pueblo; and performing the maintenance and operations of the site once the projectis completed.
It is anticipated that the exhibit will open in about a year and that it will last about 10 years before major changes would need to beconsidered.
The Water and Power Associates will be looking at the possibility of augmenting the staff of Museum through providing docent services for the exhibit (Click HERE forexhibit location).

Chair Historical Record Committee Water Museum Updates August 26, 2019: Representatives from LADWP, Water and Power Associates, El Pueblo and the Natural History Museum met for a planning session on the future Water Exhibit (Museum) on Olvera Street. The Natural History Museum, because of their expertise, will be working on the displays that will be housed in the HAMMEL BUILDINGon
Olvera Street. The meeting generated some great ideas about what stories the exhibition could tell. Several more meetings will be required before the displays can be finalized….it’s a longprocess.
