LADWP operates a number of key facilities involved in delivering water and power safely and reliably to the City of Los Angeles, as well as to 6,000 electric customers in the Owens Valley, and directly employs nearly 350 people in the Eastern Sierra area. In addition to our water and power operations, construction and maintenance forces, LADWP administers leases and other land-use activities ranging from ranching and grazing to campgrounds and golf courses, and from local businesses to homes.

Owens Valley Annual Water Operations Plan
Per the Inyo County/Los Angeles Water Agreement, LADWP develops an annual operations plan consistent with the goals of the Water Agreement.
Bishop Training Facility and Construction Yard Project
LADWP is constructing a new multi-use training facility and constructing a new more functional and localized LADWP construction yard that will be located between Bishop Creek Canal, U.S. Highway 6, and Wye Road, Bishop, CA. The facilities will offer workforce development resources, provide indoor and outdoor spaces for construction and maintenance of typical LADWP water and power infrastructures, as well as foster community well-being and economic growth for the region.
Division Creek Power Plant Project
Division Creek Power Plant (Project) is a spring fed Hydro Power Unit. Two Power stations, Division Creek Power Plants Units 1 and 2, were built in early 1900 to capture the energy of the water. Decades later Division Creek Power Plant Unit 1 was destroyed by a major fire and was never re-built. The purpose of the project is to replace of approximately 14,000 feet of penstock to regulate the flow of water. The new plant will be located downstream of Division Creek Unit 2 within LADWP-managed land and adjacent to the existing flow-line and LADWP transmission line. Division Creek Unit 2 will be retired after successful commissioning of the new unit.
Little Lake Aqueduct Crossover Trunk Line
The Little Lake Aqueduct Crossover Project consists of the design and construction of a crossover pipe, within the rights-of-way of the First Los Angeles Aqueduct to the Second Los Angeles Aqueduct located about 11.8 miles south of the Haiwee Power Plant near Olancha, CA. This construction does not impact public use of any recreation spots.
North Haiwee Dam No. 2
North and South Haiwee Reservoirs are the southernmost Los Angeles Aqueduct reservoirs in Inyo County separated by Merritt Dam. Haiwee Reservoirs are approximately 5 miles south of the intersection of US-395 Highway and SR-190 and just east of US-395 Highway. Construction of North Haiwee Dam was completed in February 1913. The purpose of the Project is to contain the water in North Haiwee Reservoir in the event the existing North Haiwee Dam fails due to an earthquake.
