Silver Lake empty at last

[1]We never noticed the tornado-swirl and huge sucking sound we might have expected, but by this morning, Silver Lake was at last empty.
Just a few birds sat on the bottom amid knuckle-deep puddles, wearing WTF??? expressions. Now that the reservoir is free of the carcinogenic bromate-tainted water [2] that was discovered [3] a few months back, the LADWP [4] can commence patching and other necessary repairs before refilling it with fresh water from the aqueduct. They’re promising it will be refilled by summer.
And, uh, partially filled with balls [5].
