Drainage plans, hydrology report, stormwater sump pump design, and street plan for a single-family residential fire rebuild following the Eaton Fire.

Drainage plan for Altadena residential project on East Palm Street

Location

Altadena, CA

Current Phase

Under Construction

Project Overview

Single-family residential fire rebuild in Altadena following the Eaton Fire. Initial assessment completed August 2025 with existing site conditions documented and drainage patterns identified. Below-street-grade lots can sometimes drain by gravity, but this design drops the rear of the site below the rear neighbor's property to pool drainage on site, so a stormwater sump pump system was required. Drainage plans, hydrology report, sump pump design, and street plan submitted to LA County for review in September 2025.
