Irvine Ranch Water District's Urgent Wildlife Rescue

Irvine Ranch Water District's Urgent Wildlife Rescue

Author: The Daily News Now! April 25, 2026 Duration: 1:21

The Irvine Ranch Water District is addressing urgent maintenance at a basin in Oranges El Modena Park, one of many sites filtering urban runoff. Sediment buildup caused a pump failure, leading to a quick drain. The district rescued ducks and turtles, relocating them to sanctuaries and local ponds. Excavation begins April 27th, with a biologist ensuring no turtles are left behind. Work concludes early May, allowing rain to refill the basin by early June.
