Bees are essential. They pollinate crops that feed humans & plants that create clean air, filter our water, and address climate change.

Planting native flowers with pollen & nectar creates habitat & food sources. Avoid pesticides/herbicides to keep bees healthy.

Watch how our Stormwater & Clean Water Conveyance teams go from cleaning out debris/gunk from #stormdrains to cleaning out the trucks.

Removing blockages ensures that trash doesn’t get to the #ocean & prevents #flooding. Maintaining & cleaning trucks allows them to continue working efficiently.

If your swimming pool has been impacted by ash and debris from the fires, you should not use it until it is cleaned properly in accordance with guidance from Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

We've created a helpful guide for draining your pool:

Rain often causes mud and debris to fill debris basins, which is what they're designed to do in order to protect life and property). Our crews use heavy equipment to remove multiple feet of mud and debris. Basins are checked after every storm to ensure that we keep them clear.
