The tank is west of Oak Park (Oak Park Canyon), but there is some conflicting information about the exact coordinates of VPLWT.
Source 1 From FAA JO 7350.8P:
- From FAA source 1:
34-10-49.0000N 118-46-16.0000W.
- Equivalent to 34.18028°N 118.7711°W

Obviously no tank here! This is the source I identified first (see history).
Converted into decimal degrees: 34.18028°N 118.7711°W

As @ymb pointed out, this document has been cancelled, and in the current version (JO 7350.9N), the coordinates have changed:
34-11-01.0000N 118-46-41.0000W.

An underground tank, well visible from the sky. This is the source identified by @CrossRoads.
I don't know which one is more recent, but at least this second source corresponds to a tank. The tank itself is likely similar to this (it may be it, but not sure):
"Local officials recently toured and inspected the new Oak Canyon water tank under construction in Oak Park", source

Other tanks
There are also two external tanks in the neighborhood, but none corresponds to FAA coordinates, e.g. this one:
which is a bit north of the underground tank. Overall picture:
It seems FAA has not done a good job about this waypoint identification. While the secondcurrent source identifies a tank, it should be mentioned this tank is underground, as this makes a difference.
