LA’s Earthquake-Proof Water Pipes | California News
Description
LA just installed the longest earthquake-resistant water pipeline in the nation, part of a massive $1.2 billion upgrade to replace aging pipes across the East San Fernando Valley. Since 2012, LADWP has laid over 67 miles of flexible, quake-proof lines designed to bend—not break—during seismic events. Inspired by Japan’s proven tech, these pipes could keep water flowing even in 9.0+ quakes. The Foothill Trunk Line Project, set to finish in 2032, protects LA’s lifeline by upgrading critical water arteries that deliver drinking water to millions. It’s infrastructure built to survive when the earth shakes.
