Welcome to Silver Lake
Silver Lake is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California so named for its sparkling blue reservoir. Actually, there are two reservoirs, Silver Lake and Ivanhoe, divided by a spillway. The reservoirs were designed by former LADWP chief William Mullholland and are more than 100 years old. They provide clean drinking water to approximately 600,000 people in downtown and South Los Angeles.

Silver Lake is a treasure trove of modernist architecture with one of the largest collections of modernist residences anywhere in the world. Some of the most famous houses by Richard Neutra, Rudolf Schindler, John Lautner, and others were designed to take advantage of the beautiful blue water views.
The Silver Lake Reservoirs Conservancy (SLRC) is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the many benefits of Silver Lake's open water and surrounding open space. We work with the community to reflect community preferences regarding the reservoir property.
The Silver Lake Reservoirs Conservancy was established in 1988 in response to proposed water quality projects for the Silver Lake Reservoir Complex. Originally called the Committee to Save Silver Lake's Reservoirs, SLRC is involved in many projects to protect and preserve the Silver Lake reservoirs.
