Consultant selected for Legacy Park project
The city staff has chosen Santa Monica-based RMC Water and Environment as the consultant for the proposed wastewater/ storm water treatment program, which will heavily rely on the use of the Chili Cook-Off site (the future Legacy Park). The City Council will vote on a $1.3 million contract with RMC on Monday.
City officials say the proposed water treatment program will curb storm water runoff and treat wastewater in an effort to reduce the pollution in the Malibu watershed.
