Winter berm to be removed starting April 3

CITY OF SEAL BEACH

The City of Seal Beach will commence removal of the winter sand berm starting April 3, and continuing for about three weeks. The city constructs the berm every year before winter storms to project oceanfront homes. The removal of the berm will be performed by Crew Inc.

The contractor will stage equipment at the Tenth Street beach parking lot.

Public works will have a portion of the parking lot coned off for the project on Monday, April 3, in preparation for the work.
