B & W digital scan of LADWP transmission tower erected by Bureau of Aqueduct Power. In 1909 the Bureau of Los Angeles Aqueduct Power is created to build hydro power plants along the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Ezra F. Scattergood is selected as the Bureau’s first chief electrical engineer. Once the Aqueduct is completed in 1913, the generation and distribution of municipal power (carried by towers such as this one) to Los Angeles becomes a reality.
