Hydrants without water in Cali

[otto105]

Fire hydrants ran dry as Pacific Palisades burned. L.A. city officials blame 'tremendous demand'

Firefighters battling the Palisades fire dealt with hydrants that had little to no water flowing out. By 3 a.m. Wednesday, all hydrants 'went dry,' an LADWP official says.

By 3 a.m. Wednesday, all water storage tanks in the Palisades area “went dry,” diminishing the flow of water from hydrants in higher elevations, said Janisse Quiñones, chief executive and chief engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the city’s utility.

The owner of dozens of real-estate holdings in Southern California, including the Palisades Village mall, Caruso called the issue a “systemic problem of the city” and said that “our infrastructure is old,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

The L.A. Councilmember who represents the Palisades, Traci Park, also blasted DWP, calling the hydrant issue a “chronic under-investment in the city of Los Angeles,” according to The Times.

So, they supported the Biden Build Back Better legislation.

Too bad their now stuck with Leon musk and his Xwatter chainsaw of fascism.

Don't need to. You mentioned TRUMP in a thread that has nothing to do with TRUMP.

Trump was mentioned before...

I was responding to the assertion that Trump did something and Biden revered it...

I understand you are sensitive that anyone could critise Trump... I know that upsets you and you don't like Trump to be held accountable...
MAGA seemed to think that you blame Democrats everything and Trump shouldn't be accountable anything.

This is what these people voted for out there. Now, the chickens have come home to roost.

Navies have done it as long as there have been sea going vessels. Problem with that is we are talking about the land of fruits and nuts where rainbows and unicorns wishful thinking out weighs practical solutions. Salt water would kill expensive lawns and other environmental concerns.

Actually less vegetation in fire prone areas is a good thing, but you can't put salt water in fire hydrant lines because it is too corrosive.

Air drops using sea water is doable unless the waves are too high for the planes to safely dip into. Maybe some calm sea areas could be constructed using rock breakers off shore?

 

[CowboyTed]

Well, he did try to ensure CA had a more stable fresh water supply.
"Biden" nixed it on Day 1.

Nope...
Trump order was about directing more water to profit driven areas...

Biden wanted that to be repriortised...

Please actually read what Trump and Biden were doing.. Trump was going for a higher priortisation on Corporates and business and Biden was more focused on the people and sustainability...
Thant's it, no bad guy, good guy... Just decisions... Now you can say which decision is right or wrong...

But neither of those decisions effected no water coming from hydrants... That was lack of taxpayer funding issue..

Salt would kill everything

Just the vegetation where planes dropped water. A good thing.

No...

Causes huge damage to forestry by killing everything including the roots (which makes the soil unstable) and the land baron...

Shit has consequences... Do we think expert firefighters don't know what they are doing...

So pick your poison, either us salt water and have a few barren spots, until the rain washes the salt away and vegetation returns, or build new reservoirs and lose the smelts and snail darters.

Firefighters need much more water, CA is a mess.

But then again at that point a lake might be better if available...

As long they are not saturating the ground , they generally know how much they can get away with..

They hydrants not having water is down to a lack of infrastructure (ie they have 3 tanks when they could have more capacity)...

There are evaporation issues as well to be fair and California have developed some ingenios ideas to combat that...

It is basically down to taxpayers money... Want more infrastructure, pay more taxes..



Very populated place with very little water...

Who is responsible for that?

Explain.

Bribe-taking local politicians.

We can agree that much more needs to be done to keep fires from destroying the state of CA.

Figures. California has turned into a cesspool thanks to Dems like Newsom.

Democrats doing to LA what they did to Maui.

Expect there to be a land grab

Democrats = traitors

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Bribe-taking local politicians.

Vast majority of California politicians work for the WEF. Nobody can compete with their vote harvesting/printing operations.

Very few Americans actually support democrats

Yeah, what's going on with Lahaina, huh?

And there ya go. I'm sure there's more ICLEI shills in CA than many other states.
Local politicians wholly funded and planted by the UN to implement UN policies
I'm sure there's some here.

Meanwhile, anyone remember this? It was so long ago. Way back in September. This is what democrats are. They're only about the grift and as they grift away they blame MAGA and use identity politics to divide and conquer. They use their pathetic know nothing brainwashed muppets.

All of us to one degree or another hate truth. We want it our way. Everyone. The democrats at this point along with their followers are basically fully oppressed by satan and his demons.
