Crescenta Valley Water District partnered with the Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley for a tour of the District’s reservoirs and facilities. Joining the tour were members of the CV Town Council, Friends of the Rosemont Preserve and staff members and interns from the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The District shared information about its past. During the tour, guests peeked at the Pickens Tunnel, a 500-foot mountainside natural spring, saw the stormwater capture bioswale constructed through partnership with Friends of the Rosemont Preserve (Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy), and stopped at the Judy Tejeda Reservoir to see one of the District’s HeloPods, a dip tank that augments firefighting capabilities in partnership with the LA County Fire Dept. and the Glendale Fire Dept.
