El Segundo Battles Nighttime Mosquito Influx Near Hyperion Plant

El Segundo residents have faced weeks of unbearable mosquito infestations since November, with authorities pointing to standing water from recent rains and a land strip adjacent to LADWP’s Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant as possible sources of the Aedes aegypti surge. Officials, including Hyperion plant staff and county vector control, are dewatering and treating affected areas while continuing to track sources, as residents describe living in an “absolute nightmare” with sleep disrupted.
