Public Notice - Fire Flow Test-Hydrant Flushing

The Water Division will be testing hydrants at 9933 Walnut Avenue, on December 18, 2024, starting at 10PM and ending at 12:00AM.

Staff has proactively taken the following steps to minimize the impacts to water customers:

• Scheduled work at night when records indicate demand is at the lowest.
• Notified customers door-to-door within the impacted area.
• Notifications via website, social media, and email.

While all steps have been taken to reduce the chance of a customer experiencing a water discoloration episode, customers in the impacted area are strongly encouraged to not use water during these times to the extent possible. Should you experience discolored water, we ask that you flush your own house pipes by running faucets for approximately 5 minutes or less. This should dispel any such discolored water that by small chance got into your house or business water pipes.

Should you have continued water discoloration after flushing, please call our Public Works Department at 323-563-5790, for afterhours call Police Dispatch at 323-563-5436.

Have you heard? California's Senate Bill 1383 requires businesses to divert organic waste from landfills by recycling their organic waste and donating excess food to organizations.

Here's some common misconceptions about the process ⬇️

1️⃣ Isn't donating food optional for businesses?
🔍 Large food-service businesses, such as grocery stores, hotels, restaurant facilities and wholesale food vendors, are required to donate edible food to food banks, soup kitchens and other food recovery organizations. Businesses are also required to keep track of their donations through records and a written agreement with an edible food collection organization.

2️⃣ How do I know what is not considered ""organic waste""?
♻️ As a general rule of thumb, pet waste, palm fronds, plastics, glass, metal and treated lumber are NOT organic waste and DO NOT belong in your green cart. Any yard waste, food scraps, food-soiled napkins and compostable bags CAN go in your green cart.

3️⃣ I cannot participate because my carts do not meet my business' waste needs.
🗑️ Commercial customers can choose from a variety of cart options based on the volume of organic waste they generate. You can “mix and match” sizes for different waste streams (organic, recyclable and landfill/trash) to suit your business needs. To request a different container type (cart or bin) or size, contact UWS directly at (562) 334-3660 or [email protected].

Let’s work together to make greener and more sustainable! Check out www.SortWasteSG.org for more information on how your business can stay SB 1383 compliant.

¿Te has enterado? El proyecto de ley 1383 del Senado de California requiere que las empresas desvíen los desechos orgánicos de los vertederos reciclando sus desechos orgánicos y donando el exceso de alimentos a las organizaciones.

Estos son algunos conceptos erróneos comunes sobre el proceso ⬇️

1️⃣ ¿Donar alimentos no es opcional para las empresas?
🔍 Las grandes empresas de servicios de alimentos, como tiendas de comestibles, hoteles, instalaciones de restaurantes y vendedores mayoristas de alimentos, están obligadas a donar alimentos comestibles a bancos de alimentos, comedores populares y otras organizaciones de recuperación de alimentos. Las empresas también están obligadas a realizar un seguimiento de sus donaciones a través de registros y un acuerdo escrito con una organización de recolección de alimentos comestibles.

2️⃣¿Cómo sé qué no se considera ""residuo orgánico""?
♻️ Como regla general, desechos de mascotas, hojas de palma, plásticos, vidrio, el metal y la madera tratada NO son residuos orgánicos y NO pertenecen a su carrito verde. Cualquier desperdicio de jardín, restos de comida, servilletas sucias y bolsas compostables PUEDEN ir en su carrito verde.

3️⃣ No puedo participar porque mis carros no satisfacen las necesidades de residuos de mi negocio.
🗑️ Los clientes comerciales pueden elegir entre una variedad de opciones de carrito en función del volumen de residuos orgánicos que generan. Puede “mezclar y combinar” tamaños para diferentes flujos de residuos (orgánicos, reciclables y vertederos/basura) para satisfacer las necesidades de su negocio. Para solicitar un tipo de contenedor diferente (carro o contenedor) o tamaño, comuníquese con UWS directamente al (562) 334-3660 o bien [email protected].

For the most part, coyotes coexist well within the urban environment and will not affect our daily lives. The best way to minimize the nuisance and losses caused by urban coyotes is by being proactive in keeping coyotes at bay by eliminating sources of food, water, and shelter and conditioning coyotes to avoid humans through regular hazing.

Report Sick or Injured Animals to SEAACA: (562)803-3301.

If a coyote becomes aggressive or threatening, residents should dial 911 immediately.
