Hollywood Reservoir (also known as Lake Hollywood) is a reservoir located in the Hollywood Hills, situated in the Santa Monica Mountains and north of the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It is maintained by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The reservoir and surrounding neighborhood lie east of the Hollywood Freeway and are overlooked, from a distance, by the Hollywood Sign.[1]
The reservoir was created by the Mulholland Dam (built in 1924), designed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power—then named the Bureau of Water Works and Supply—as part of the city's water storage and supply system.[2][3]
The Hollywood Reservoir has appeared in films such as Earthquake (1974).[4] The reservoir is featured in Visiting... with Huell Howser Episode 915.[5] and the Season 4 opening of the TV Series 9-1-1.[6]
