On March 18, 2025, the City Council will receive an update on the landslide emergency, the latest land movement data, and the City’s remediation efforts.
The Council will also consider allocating an additional $1 million needed for repairs to the Abalone Cove Sanitary Sewer System, which serves the Portuguese Bend Community Association neighborhood. The City anticipated spending up to $3 million for repairs this fiscal year, but due to damage from ongoing land movement, another $1 million is needed through the end of June 2025. Without this funding, certain parts of the system would need to be closed to prevent sewer spills, and additional homes would be red-tagged until they could use the sewer system again.
Finally, the Council will consider extending by 60 days the local emergency declarations in the landslide area and the temporary prohibition of bicycles, motorcycles, and other similar wheeled vehicles from an approximately 2-mile stretch of Palos Verdes Drive South.
A staff report (PDF) with more information is available on the City website.
