PWP Community Meetingon Sunset Complex Project 


Pasadena Water and Power 
(PWP) is set to host a community 
meeting on the Sunset Complex 
Project on Thursday at 5 p.m. 
at Robinson Park Recreation 
Center, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave. 
The meeting will be simulcast via 
Zoom.

 California is in the middle of 
another drought with water 
supplies reaching historicallylow levels. With water supplies 
becoming scarcer, PWP is 
looking to address aging water 
infrastructure and improving local 
resiliency. The Sunset Reservoirs 
are one of 14 reservoirs that serve 
a critical role in the city’s drinking 
water system. The existing Sunset 
Reservoir site is located at the 
corner of West Mountain Street 
and Sunset Avenue, just east of the 
210 Freeway. Approximately 25 
percent of the city’s water demand 
is served by the Sunset Reservoirs, 
which have been in service for 
more than 125 years and are in 
need of replacing. The proposed 
Sunset Complex Project improves 
system reliability to ensure all 
PWP water customers have access 
to safe, reliable drinking water.

 PWP is proposing to replace 
the existing reservoirs with 
two circular concrete storage 
reservoirs that will be designed 
to current seismic standards. 
A new groundwater treatment 
plant will consist of ion exchange 
to remove perchlorate; liquid 
phase granular activated carbon 

to remove volatile organic 
compounds; and a disinfection 
system. This treatment system 
will allow PWP to utilize more of 
the city’s groundwater supply. In 
addition, the project will include 
emergency power generators to 
keep the complex in operation 
in the event of a power outage. 
Since the project site is adjacent to 
residential properties, the project 
proposes aesthetic improvements 
including new fencing and 
landscaping.

PWP invites the community 
to attend this meeting to learn 
more about the project and 
proposed improvements based 
on initial public feedback 
from prior meetings. For more 
information about the project 
and the upcoming meeting, visit:
