The Gates Canyon Stormwater Improvements Project is located in the unincorporated area of Calabasas, CA. The Project will capture, store and treat for irrigation, and infiltrate urban runoff and stormwater from 105 acres of residential land from the neighboring area.

The use of this water will help offset other water demand as well as improve downstream waterbodies such as Las Virgenes Creek and Malibu Creek.

DECEMBER 2020 – Drone video construction time lapse.

APRIL 2020 – The new grass, trees, and educational signs have been placed in the park play fields. Fencing will remain in order to protect the new grass until it is better established. Due to recent rain delays, work on the storm drain diversion structure under the roadway is still ongoing. All major work should be completed by end of May.
