This is a hydraulic filled dam, situated at the edge of San Fernando Valley, near San Fernando, on the line of the Los Angeles aqueduct. Water enters the reservoir from the aqueduct through a spillway on the left, not shown in the picture. A division box is located at the spillway and from that the main pipe line for the Los Angeles city supply passes through the left-hand tower. Water can also be taken into this pipe from the reservoir through the left-hand tower. The right-hand tower is the outlet to the San Fernando Irrigation District.
