Walnut Canyon Reservoir (Anaheim, California)

USA / California / Yorba Linda / Anaheim, California

The reservoir receives deliveries of imported, untreated Colorado River Water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California. Water from the reservoir is then treated at the August F. Lenain Treatment Plant prior to delivery to Anaheim Public Utilities' customers. Capable of storing 920 million gallons of imported water, enough to supply the area for 30 to 45 days in the event of an interruption to imported supplies from MWD, it also offers operational flexibility to avoid imported water peaking charges during summer periods of extended hot weather and provides a valuable resource in helping to contain brush fires.
