Are black water holding tanks required in Newport Harbor?
No vessel may discharge sewage into Newport Harbor. Holding tanks are required. The City’s Harbor Resources website has a handy illustration of the harbor’s public piers and pumpout stations. There is also a project underway to expand Newport Harbor’s visiting vessel accommodations. The proposed Marina Park project will be located between the American Legion Yacht Club and 19th Street on the Balboa Peninsula , but will not be completed for several years (as of 2008).
