The Faceless | OPERATION CONCRETE PHANTOM | Phase 2: Water & Power Disruption |
07/17/26 | OPERATION CONCRETE PHANTOM | Phase II: Water & Power Disruption The second stage of Operation Concrete Phantom is scheduled to begin today. Following Phase I’s coordinated strikes against the Los Santos fuel supply, Phase II shifts the operation toward the city’s water and utility infrastructure. The objective is to seize several strategically important facilities and disrupt the systems responsible for collecting, treating, pressurizing, and distributing water throughout Los Santos. Intelligence was gathered from a restricted Los Santos Department of Water & Power Crisis Contingency and Infrastructure Master Manual. The document contains detailed information about the city’s reservoirs, aqueducts, purification systems, booster stations, emergency backups, manual controls, and contingency procedures. It also reveals that the department recently moved portions of the water network into manual operation because of the growing infrastructure threat. The operation will divide the participating assets across several locations. Each team will be responsible for taking control of a different part of the water network at approximately the same time. By occupying the intake, treatment, distribution, and emergency-control systems together, the assets can prevent the department from easily rerouting water or activating its backup procedures. Primary Intake and Aqueduct Network Several teams will move against the source facilities that provide untreated water to Los Santos. These locations include the Land Act Reservoir, the Mount Josiah Runoff Catchments, and the Alamo Sea Desalination and Bypass Loops. Together, these systems supply water to the city through the Sonora and Chiliad aqueduct networks. El Burro Heights Purification Plant Another group will target the El Burro Heights Purification Plant, the largest water-treatment facility serving Los Santos. The plant processes more than 1.2 million gallons of water each day and supplies approximately seventy percent of the city’s residential districts. Booster Stations and Pressurization Grid Assets will also move against the stations responsible for maintaining water pressure across Los Santos. The city is divided into three major pressure zones, each supported by separate booster facilities. The Murrieta Booster Station controls pressure for Downtown and East Los Santos. The Richman Ridge Booster Station supports Richman and Rockford Hills, while the La Puerta Lift Station supplies Vespucci and Del Perro. Taking these stations would interfere with the city’s ability to push water through residential buildings, high-rise towers, industrial facilities, and emergency fire-suppression systems. Downtown Headquarters Utility Basement One of the most important targets is the Los Santos Department of Water & Power Downtown Headquarters, specifically the secured utility basement known as Corridor B-9. This basement contains the physical manual controls used when the automated network is unavailable. From there, operators can isolate damaged sectors, redirect water around broken pipelines, override the Land Act intake, and activate the central bypass loop. Controlling Corridor B-9 would prevent department personnel from manually restoring the network after the other facilities are taken. Emergency Auxiliary Station 02 Another team will secure Emergency Auxiliary Station 02 in Richman Glen. This underground facility acts as the city’s primary backup system whenever pressure in northern Los Santos falls below emergency levels. Station 02 has an isolated generator, its own fuel supply, and the ability to provide emergency water to portions of the northern and western residential districts. Taking the facility would prevent the department from activating one of its most important contingency systems. Fort Zancudo Treatment Works The operation may also extend to the Fort Zancudo Treatment Works, an isolated water and wastewater system located near the base of Mount Josiah. Phase II Mission Objective Phase II is not focused on a single facility. It is a coordinated takeover of the systems that keep water moving through Los Santos. The assets will strike the intake network, purification plant, pressure stations, emergency backup facilities, and manual-control centers during the same operational window. By taking these locations together, Operation Concrete Phantom intends to overwhelm the Department of Water & Power’s emergency response and prevent the city from simply rerouting its supply. Phase I restricted fuel and mobility. Phase II now targets one of the most essential systems keeping Los Santos functioning, pushing the operation closer to the cascading infrastructure failure described in its original mission directive.
