The eye-catching moment captured on camera by Ruiz-Santiago shows the man emerging from the storm drain with a backpack on his back.
Ruiz-Santiago posted the video to social media and it quickly obtained hundreds of thousands of views with hundreds of comments.
"Our infrastructure is not made for human occupancy, and you know, that's just putting someone in jeopardy of toxic chemicals, needles, rocks and even potential drowning, because we don't know when a flood could occur, or even fire can open a drain,: said City Councilmember Michele Padilla.
While this is considered trespassing under California law, Padilla said it's not just about prosecuting and is more about helping.
Ruiz-Santiago hopes this can shine a light on the change that's needed.
Padilla said this is the first time she's become aware of this problem. It's still unknown why the man was down there.
