Huntington Beach, California is a city on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, southeast of Los Angeles in Orange County.

The population was 198,711 at the 2020 census, which has increased from 189,992 in 2010.

This city is a hot spot for surfing beaches, and it’s fitting that the area is home to the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum. The museum has historical information, old longboards, and other surfing memorabilia.

Some other major attractions in the area include Bolsa Chica State Beach, Dog Beach, State Beach, Sunset County Beach, Surfside Beach, the Newport Beach Pier, Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and Huntington Central Park.

Two small lift stations, one wastewater and one stormwater, were brought to us by Fuscoe Engineering, Inc. for a new development in Huntington Beach, CA.

They were originally working for the developer, Brookfield Properties, on the overall design for the project. In original conversations, Fuscoe had questions on Romtec Utilities’ scope, specifically if we provide engineering services, and requested sample projects to present to the developer since we have not worked with Brookfield Properties previously.

We had previously worked with Fuscoe on various projects including Doheny Village, House of Ruth, Oak Springs Ranch, the Line, and the Marke. Fuscoe Engineering, Inc. is a civil engineer based in Irvine, California.

Information on both complete scopes was provided, as well as multiple sample projects for both wastewater and stormwater lift stations. The residential development stormwater lift station project was later sold to Lennar.

The residential development stormwater lift station was purchased by the general contractor, L&S Construction. Romtec Utilities had worked directly for Lennar previously, but Lennar’s preference was to procure the pump systems through the contractor. Lennar Homes is a home construction company that was the second largest in the U.S. in 2023, quantified by the number of homes sold.

The new single family home community is called Seamark, which has 85 homes adjacent to Gisler Park in Huntington Beach. Gisler Park has a playground, park benches, open field areas, and walking trails. The neighborhood is close to Edison High School and walking distance from the Santa Ana River Trail.

Since the new development needed a stormwater lift station, Romtec Utilities designed, manufactured, and supplied the residential development stormwater lift station to Lennar through L&S Construction. L&S Construction is a construction company based in Orange, California providing water, sewer, and storm drain installation services to the residential home building industry.

The stormwater lift station features a 6’ wet well, 6” ductile iron discharge piping, pressure transducer for primary level sensing, two floats for back level sensing, an auto dialer, and KRT 10 horsepower pumps in a duplex configuration.

The duty point is 460 gallons per minute @ 14 TDH.

Romtec Utilities was pleased to be a part of this residential stormwater lift station for the residential development in partnership with Lennar Homes, Fuscoe Engineering, and L&S Construction.

These new homes are a welcome addition to the area, which help create more housing for a booming surf city.
