Severe storms over the month have caused widespread damage to the Bay area and Santa Cruz region. Damages from the storm include ripping a 40-foot section of the Capitola wharf apart.
Capitola’s director of public works Jessica Kahn estimates that the cost to rebuilt or repair public property in Capitola is around $3.5 million. That’s almost $1 million more than the previous estimate of $2.6 million.
The city is currently in the process of obtaining funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Public Assistance Program for storm-related repairs. Funds will go towards construction, engineering and permitting costs.
