Whakaotia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: Ko tētahi āhuatanga motuhake o Chatsworth ko te Chatsworth Dam me te puna wai. I hangaia i te tau 1918 hei waahanga o te punaha Los Angeles Aqueduct, no te Tari o Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Na te nui haere o nga awangawanga mo te kounga o te wai na te kaha o te algae me te rerenga o te wai ua, i tangohia mai i te mahi i Akuhata 1969. I muri i te
1971 San Fernando earthquake nga awangawanga taapiri mo te ahuru seismic i arahi ki te whakarere e te LADWP hei whare rokiroki.
