The city plans to break ground next month to start construction of new facilities at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys.

Through a project called Pure Water Los Angeles, they plan to treat recycled water from the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, the city’s largest wastewater treatment facility, and use that water — as much as 230 million gallons a day — to provide about a third of L.A.’s drinking water supply.

But there is, in one of the many reclamation projects of years past, a possible blueprint for how to lift up the park again.

Bureau of Reclamation and counterparts at state and federal fish agencies to complete a new permit — called an incidental take permit — for the State Water Project, said Karla Nemeth, the department’s director.

The development of the new operating rules has involved more than two and a half years of consultations and analysis through a “multi-agency state and federal team with regular engagement and opportunities for feedback,” said Mary Lee Knecht, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Reclamation.
