~ Development of the Tillman Site

The basic engineering concepts were to build an attractive "upstream" facility for removing 95% of the water from the sewage. At the very least this would relieve demand from the "downstream" main Hyperion facility at El Segundo and forestall the necessity of building another mainline sewage tunnel through the Valley. At the very most it would accomplish this and the 95% reclaimed water would be reused. The other 5% of the water would be used to carry the sludge down to Hyperion where it would be burned to generate electricity. The Valley facility would interface with the public through a Japanese Garden with a theme of the peaceful, beautiful uses of water.
