Rancho Palos Verdes considers $10,000 aid to landslide victims as 5 new dewatering wells go online

The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council will consider giving $10,000 to each of 280 homeowners impacted by recent land movement next week. The assistance, which the council will vote on during its Tuesday, Oct. 1, meeting, would come directly from $5 million the city recently received from Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn’s discretionary fund.

The city geologist, meanwhile, will also give an update on the land movement on Tuesday and discuss the progress RPV has made on five new dewatering wells installed near the shoreline.
