Hyperion, California
Hyperion is a location in Los Angeles County, California.[1] Hyperion was a stop on the Pacific Electric Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey Line that lay at an elevation of 33 feet (10 m).[1] Hyperion still appeared on USGS maps as of 1934.[1]
Hyperion Pier
According to a history of Santa Monica, "Mayor [John C.] Steele co-operated most effectively with his fellow-commissioners in acquiring water-bearing lands in the Charnock Road section, also in the planning of a sewage disposal system, with Hyperion Pier, five miles south of the city, as its outfall point."[2]
Hyperion Pier stood at this location from before 1912 to after 1937.[3] The pier may have been the site of the outfall sewer into the ocean, as the wharf seemingly carried a redwood pipe 2,000 ft (610 m) "out to a submerged end."[4] According to an interview with one sanitation engineer, it was a "five-foot wooden pipe made just like a barrel, only straight strips. The reason I know this, a guy came down from Oregon representing the wood industry, and he wanted a piece of that pipe. He got permission from the city of Los Angeles to go up to the top and saw out a little piece. And they wanted to show how long a piece of wood would stand sewage infiltration."[5]
