Long Beach, CA – The City of Long Beach is hosting a virtual community meeting to provide recent updates on the Alamitos Bay Water Quality Enhancement Project. The meeting will be held via Zoom on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, at 5:30 p.m.
The Alamitos Bay Water Quality Enhancement Project aims to protect water quality in Alamitos Bay by maintaining existing water circulation with new fish-friendly pumps that are separate from power plant cooling operations. Alamitos Bay is a highly utilized coastal resource for personal and competitive aquatic recreation and, as a result, is subject to high levels of human contact year-round. As the bay continues to be utilized, and as the City continues preparations to support future aquatic events for the 2028 Olympic Games, furtherance of this project is of high priority.
Notable project updates will be provided including the current schedule and information regarding the environmental review process. There will be an opportunity for community members to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Meeting registration is required and can be done online. Requests for interpretation services must be submitted by Jan. 22, 2024, and can be sent to contactlbpw@longbeach.gov.
For additional questions, please contact TidelandsCIP@longbeach.gov with the subject line “Alamitos Bay Water Quality" or visit the City of Long Beach’s project webpage at longbeach.gov/abwqe.
