Los Angeles agrees to $20.8m upgrade for Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant after 2021 spill, to settle with EPA and federal prosecutors.

Los Angeles has agreed to spend $20.8m on improvements to its Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant after a 2021 spill discharged millions of gallons of untreated wastewater into Santa Monica Bay. The city will upgrade the facility's control systems, conduct annual audits, and undertake a one-year community outreach project for improved communication and education. The settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and federal prosecutors prevents potential Clean Water Act and other federal law violations.
