The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District joined the City of Inglewood June 13 to officially sign a project agreement that will strengthen the city’s emergency water storage capacity and spotlight more than two decades of interagency collaboration. The agreement, supported by federal funding through Section 219 of the Water Resources Development Act, will assist in the design and construction of the Morningside Reservoir — the first and highest-priority of four planned water infrastructure projects. The overall program is expected to support up to $20 million in improvements across Inglewood’s aging water system. … The new reservoir, which will be constructed below grade on the existing site, is designed to hold about 4 million gallons of water. It will mix groundwater from Inglewood’s treatment plant with supply from the Metropolitan Water District and distribute it citywide.
