Newport water quality officials get new office
Newport Beach Code and Water Quality Enforcement Division on
Tuesday got its new headquarters, a 60-foot trailer moved to the
front lawn of City Hall at 3300 Newport Blvd.
Staff will not move in for another two weeks -- electrical and
telecommunication outlets still need to be connected.
City officials said the increase in enforcement staff is because
of changes that required stepping up monitoring code violations for
residential and commercial urban runoff entering the city’s storm
drain system.
The city has more than 104 miles of storm drains that empty into
the Back Bay or the ocean.
