Chief electrical engineer on the storied construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. He was the top official of the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. With chief engineer William Mulholland’s recommendation, he was named to head the DWP’s quickly-expanding power bureau in 1907. By 1928, Scattergood had built what was then the nation’s largest and most highly respected public utility. His crypt is side-by-side with Mulholland’s.
