A 117-million gallon reservoir in one of the Los Angeles communities ravaged by wildfires was out of commission when the fire started in the area on Tuesday.
The Santa Ynez Reservoir in the Pacific Palisades has been closed for repairs after a covering designed to preserve water quality tore. The Los Angeles Times first reported that the reservoir was offline.
The reservoir’s status may have limited the water system’s ability to provide consistent pressure for firefighters, but Marty Adams, a former general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, said it is unlikely to have made a significant difference in the battle against the Palisades Fire, which burned through 20,000 acres as of Friday afternoon.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for an investigation into the water supply troubles and the reservoir’s lack of availability.

“It was out of service. I don’t know exactly how long it’s been out of service,” Adams said.
During firefighters’ response to the Palisades Fire, some high elevation fire hydrants dried up, hampering efforts to fight the blaze.
On Friday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for an investigation into the water supply troubles and the reservoir's lack of availability.
"The ongoing reports of the loss of water pressure to some local fire hydrants during the fires and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir are deeply troubling to me and to the community," Newsom wrote. "We need answer to how that happened."
Newsom directed state water and firefighting officials to prepare an independent after-incident report "examining the causes of lost water supply and water pressure" and also requested that city and county officials provide a "comprehensive review examining their local preparation and response procedures" to the state.
Adams, who retired about eight months ago, said the reservoir could have preserved some additional water pressure to fight the fires, but that it’s unlikely it would have substantially changed outcomes.
