With the first big winter storm approaching Costa Mesa and the region, the city’s maintenance service crews have made sandbags available at City Hall.

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.

• In anticipation of the storm, City Staff is out clearing debris from catch basins and the clarifier on Anaheim Avenue and Center Street.
• Flood signs will be placed at certain locations.
• The City will have stand-by personnel patrol the hot spots tonight if we get heavy rains

Please report flooding issues to 714-754-5250.
