Findings from the Feasibility Study to Be Revealed at Public Meeting

The City of Malibu is evaluating more resilient wastewater infrastructure alternatives for properties in fire-prone areas, particularly along the city’s beachfront, officials announced this week.

As part of that effort, Malibu Public Works is conducting a study to examine the feasibility of connecting local properties to the Los Angeles County and Hyperion wastewater systems. The goal is to improve long-term sewer service reliability in areas impacted by wildfires, which have historically strained existing infrastructure.

City officials will present preliminary findings of the study at a public meeting on Thursday, April 24, at 2:00 p.m. at Malibu City Hall. Community members are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion.
