Los Angeles has agreed to spend at least $20.8 million on improvements to the Hyperion sewage plant following a massive spill of untreated wastewater in 2021.
Three years after a massive spill at a Los Angeles wastewater facility sent millions of gallons of sewage into Santa Monica Bay, the city has agreed to spend more than $20 million on improvements to remedy the environmental blunder, according to a settlement with federal prosecutors announced Tuesday. The agreement comes after an investigation by the U.S.
These changes were ordered in March by the EPA, but it wasn't initially clear how much the city would spend on the improvements. The new agreement also requires several additional measures be taken, including yearly audits of Hyperion by a third party, increased water testing in Santa Monica Bay and a community outreach project aimed at benefiting the communities directly affected by Hyperion’s operations.
