Sandbags available for residents at Costa Mesa City Hall

As a big winter storm approaches, Costa Mesa and the region, the city’s maintenance service crews have made sandbags available at City Hall in case of flooding.

Sand bags are available for free to Costa Mesa residents in the southeast corner of the City Hall parking lot at 77 Fair Drive. The location is self-service and bringing your own shovel is suggested as supplies could be limited. The number of sandbags is limited to 15 sandbags per household.

No commercial use please.

Also, the Costa Mesa Sanitary District will have a sandbag station at the Robin Hamers Yard, 1741 W. Wilson Street. Sand and bags are provided, but residents will need to bring their own shovel.

City crews will patrol potential flooding spots to make sure catch basins are clear of debris and operational. Crews are also ready to respond to other weather-related incidents.

Please report flooding issues to 714-754-5252.
