Water Protection

Water





Cross-Connection Control Ordinance

The City Council adopted a new Cross-Connection Control Ordinance on November 19th. The ordinance aims to protect the public water supply from potential contamination caused by backflow. It requires the installation and regular maintenance of approved backflow prevention devices at properties where cross-connections may occur. This proactive measure aligns with state and federal water safety standards, ensuring the community’s access to clean, safe drinking water.

Winterization




Winterization Tips

Even though winters in Manhattan Beach are relatively mild, it's still essential to protect your home for cooler, wetter weather. Here are some tips on how to prepare for the season:


* *Inspect and clean gutters and downspouts* - remove leaves and debris to prevent clogs and overflow during rainstorms. Ensure downspouts direct water away from the foundation.
* *Check roof for damage* - inspect for loose or missing shingles, cracks, or any signs of leaks. 
* *Seal cracks and openings* - check windows, doors, and exterior walls for gaps or cracks that could let in drafts of water. Seal with caulk or weatherstripping.
* *Trim trees and shrubs* - cut back any branches near your home to prevent them from breaking and causing damage during high winds or heavy rains.
* *Check outdoor drainage and any flood risks* - Ensure yard drains, culverts, and swales are clear of obstructions to minimize flooding. If your property is in a low-lying area, consider sandbags or other measures to mitigate flooding during heavy rainfall.
