The City of Manhattan Beach is currently preparing to construct the replacement of the storm drain catch basin located between 29th and 30th Street on Laurel Avenue.  This catch basin is currently undersized and even in less than heavy rain events, storm runoff frequently ponds around this catch basin and impedes traffic flow on Laurel Avenue.  During significant inclement weather, the ponding becomes widespread and overflows into the adjacent residential properties and back yards. This project will increase the inlet size, width and depth of the catch basin as well as adjust the connecting outlet storm drain pipe slope to efficiently convey the storm runoff.

Construction is anticipated to be completed by July 11, 2017, weather permitting. The contractor will be working between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Please feel free to contact Tim Birthisel, the City's project engineer at (310) 802-5368 with any questions or concerns.
