The last of the 19 oil wells located near the Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) athletic fields was secured and capped in October. The event marks the near end of a $40 million project that began in April of 2018.
“Work is now in progress to address minor leaks on the two wells previously identified to require additional plugging work. This additional plugging work is anticipated to be completed by December 2020,” Beverly Hills Director of Public Works Shana Epstein told the Courier.
