Via De La Paz and Sunset Boulevard Water Regulator Station Replacement Project - The Via De La Paz and Sunset Boulevard Water Regulator Station Replacement Project is part of LADWP’s ongoing effort to upgrade critical water infrastructure across Los Angeles. Built in 1952, the existing station is being modernized with new steel pipes and valves to improve long-term reliability for Pacific Palisades customers. This site is the third regulator station in the Palisades to undergo rehabilitation. Construction will take place inside the existing underground vault, with no expected water service outages. One overnight work shift will be required to install a temporary bypass line. For public safety, Via De La Paz from Sunset Boulevard to the first alley north will be fully closed for the duration of the project, with detours and temporary no-parking zones in effect. Work is scheduled from early December 2025 through early May 2025.
