Since San Pedro and Wilmington are located outside the Sanitation Districts service area, how will these communities benefit from a new tunnel and a new outfall?
These communities would benefit from having a more reliable infrastructure in their vicinity.Without a new tunnel and a new outfall, an emergency response to the existing system would mainly affect San Pedro and Wilmington.Specifically, the failure of the existing tunnels could affect Wilmington Drain, Machado Lake, and the Los Angeles Harbor, the only alternative discharge locations for JWPCP effluent.Also, effluent from the Terminal Island Treatment Plant (TITP) could potentially be conveyed through a new tunnel and a new ocean outfall, thus removing the discharge from inside the breakwater in Los Angeles Harbor.In a broader sense, the MFP will examine the possibility of accepting dry weather urban runoff flows into the treatment plant(s), potentially reducing the discharge of urban runoff into Los Angeles Harbor and along the coast.
