As a reminder as a rain storms approach Costa Mesa and the region this week, sand bags are available for free to Costa Mesa residents in the southeast corner of the City Hall parking lot at 77 Fair Drive and at Fire Station No. 4.

Only 15 bags per resident and no contractors please.

Staff will continue to monitor both locations as needed.

Both locations are self-serve, so plan to bring a shovel.

The city’s maintenance service 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. Flood signs will be placed at all known hot spots.

Please report flooding issues to 714-754-5250.
