PCH WASTEWATER CONNECTION LINE

1. Project Background and Description

The City of Malibu is currently in the process of designing the Wastewater Collection System

on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment (LASAN)

connection project.

The project includes a new wastewater collection system for the affected by the Palisades

Fire 5.5-mile segment of PCH, between the intersections of PCH with Carbon Beach terrace

and Getty Villa Drive. The Preliminary Design Report for the project was completed by

Woodard & Curran, Inc. in February 2026.

An Assessment District (AD) will be formed to finance the design and construction of the

project. The Assessment District will be a 1913 Act Assessment District.

The City is requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide assessment engineering and

district administration services to support the formation of an assessment district(s) for the

PCH Wastewater Collection System Project.
