newsletter archive

This archive is an incomparable resource to follow the grassroots and political process that grew from the threat of the reservoir covers. Here you can read firsthand accounts of the beginnings of CSSLR and the resurgence of activism in the Silver Lake area. The story of the community's relationship with the DWP unfolds in the pages of the newsletters, beginning with anger, distrust, closed-door autonomy, and subterfuge, and ending with mediation, cooperation, the creation and implementation of the Master Plan, and the drafting of the EIR for the Silver Lake Reservoir Replacement Project. We've come a long way through the hard work of decades of community volunteers and DWP personnel, and the newsletters take you through it all.
