City of La Verne 01 News Community WATER RESTRICTIONS CURRENTLY IN PLACE At its August 4th meeting, the La Verne City Council enacted Phase V Water Use Restrictions of the City’s Water Conservation Ordinance. Residential customers receive a baseline allowance of 28,000 gallons for two months; all other water customers are required to reduce their demands by 20% from the corresponding period during calendar year 2013. The Council’s action ensures the City’s compliance with the emergency regulations adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board. FAQ’s What do I do when I see water being wasted or a regulation being violated? Please contact the City of La Verne Water Waster Hotline at (909) 5968787 and leave a detailed message regarding the date, time, location and wasteful activity. Do you offer any rebates or programs to help cover the cost of appliances, irrigation equipment, or anything else to help homeowners reduce water consumption? Yes, the city currently offers several rebates for equipment such as low flush toilets, low flow shower heads and faucets, high water efficiency clothes washers, turf removal, smart controllers, sprinkler nozzles and rain barrels. Please visit www.bewaterwise.com for more information. How often should I water my grass/landscaping? The current mandatory water restrictions allow 5 minutes per station for a total of 20 minutes per station, per week. Because people have different types of soil and plants in their yard, we recommend visiting the water calculator at www.bewaterwise.com/calculator.html. What is “runoff” and why is it prohibited? Runoff is water that flows off of landscape, often due to overwatering. Runoff is prohibited because water is being wasted running down the sidewalks, driveways, streets and into the gutter. In addition to wasting water, this practice is prohibited because it could cause a tripping hazard and the runoff picks up additional materials that could pollute the stormdrain system. How many gallons of water are used on average in a single-family home in La Verne per month? 18,000 What is the allocated consumption for each single family home/ residential user and how is it calculated? The allocated consumption for each single family home is 28,000 gallons per two months. The allotment is based on a per capita calculation. I have a large yard and a large house so why don’t I get a higher allotment than 28,000 gallons per two months for water use? The standard allotment is for indoor use and therefore does not take into consideration your size of home or size of yard. The priority during the drought is for residents to be able to have water available for personal sanitation, drinking, eating, cooking, washing and cleaning. Therefore, irrigation and square footage of a home is not factored into the baseline allotment. Does the City of La Verne offer any classes for help me to convert my traditional lawn into a drought tolerant landscape? Yes, the City has partnered with Three Valleys Municipal Water District and Metropolitan Water District to conduct regular California Friendly Landscape Classes. Please visit www.ci.la-verne.ca.us for more information. Does the city offer financial assistance to fund repairs of broken pipes, toilets, sprinklers or anything else that might waste water? The City does not have any funds available for the repair of deteriorating pipes, toilets or sprinklers at this time. However, there are free instructional booklets available at City Hall for plumbing repairs, tools for sprinkler repair and rebates for water efficient irrigation equipment as well as many other household appliances. Please visit www.bewaterwise.com for more information. I have installed low flush toilets, low flow shower heads and faucets, what are additional ways to conserve water? Indoors- When warming up the water before taking a shower, place a bucket to catch the water and use to water plants, rinse fruits and vegetables or fill the pet drinking bowl. When taking a shower, turn off the water while soaping up. When washing your hands, turn off the water while allowing soap to work. When washing clothes and dishes, wait until the appliance is full before running a load. Outdoors- When watering your lawn, focus on dry spots instead of watering everywhere and adjust when you notice runoff. Before watering your landscaping, periodically aerate the grass or soil to allow more water to be soaked in and avoid compaction. Take advantage of large rebates for the removal of turf and installation of drought tolerant landscaping. Please visit www.ci.la-verne.ca.us for more information. USED OIL RECYCLING If you are one of many households who include a “DIY” (Do it yourself ) oil changer, then we have good news for you! At various community events, the City of La Verne offers FREE supplies (drain pans, rags and funnels) to help you change and dispose of your used oil. Periodically we host oil filter exchange events where bringing a used oil filter will earn you a FREE brand new one. Within the City of La Verne we have three certified used oil collection centers, Auto Zone, Quickie’s Oil Change and Sunland Tire of La Verne. After you change your oil next time, please make sure to bring your used oil into one of these centers for FREE! If bringing the oil to a certified collection center isn’t an option for you, please call Waste Management for FREE curbside pickup at 909-599-1274. For more information on upcoming events, please visit www.ci.la-verne.ca.us 02 City of La Verne Visit us online at WWW.CI.LA-VERNE.CA.US Community News LESS IS MORE! Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the things we don’t need anymore? Trash goes into the landfill and recyclables get processed and mostly reused; but what about the contaminated materials- the things that don’t break down or hazardous and electronic waste? They all end up in different places, but precious resources are used in collecting, transporting, sorting, cleaning, storing, reusing and disposing of them. TRASH: Our trash is collected and then put on a train or truck and sent to a landfill approximately fifty miles away. RECYCLABLES: The City of La Verne residents fill approximately 35 trucks full of recyclables every Monday that are brought to a sorting facility. Energy is then used to sort the recyclables, clean them and store them until they are bailed together and sent to companies who manufacture new products out of our old materials. CONTAMINATED RECYCLABLES: Materials with food, grease and other contaminating products that cannot be rinsed off become trash and end up in landfills. ELECTRONIC WASTE: When it is brought to an official electronic waste collection, the materials are put through a high tech separation device to extract valuable metals, which are sent to a smelter. The plastics are removed, then the metals and plastics are remade into different products. HAZARDOUS WASTE: When hazardous waste is brought to an official hazardous waste collection event, the materials are separated and processed differently. Some liquids are neutralized, some are reclaimed, sent to smelters and remade into other products, and some are placed in hazardous waste landfills, while others are blended or re-refined and used as fuel. REPURPOSING IS REWARDING! U.S. PASSPORT AT LA VERNE CITY HALL U.S. Passport Services are available at the La Verne City Hall, 3660 “D” Street, La Verne, CA 91750 Monday thru Thursday (closed Fridays) from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Please call (909) 596 - 8726 for an appointment. VETERANS DATA BASE The City of La Verne is seeking names and addresses of La Verne’s military veterans to help establish a list of men and women who have served in the armed forces. This list will only be used by the City to inform veterans of upcoming special events in the City and around the area. Please call the Community Services Department at (909) 596-8700 for more information. YFAC WORD The City of La Verne Youth and Family Action Committee is a formal committee of the City, comprised of representatives from private agencies, non-profit organizations, La Verne Police Department, Bonita Unified School District, the City, and many interested citizens. With the committee’s focal point on trying to address challenges that confront our youth, before they grow into greater concerns, we are constantly made aware of new trends. On the premise that knowledge is power the committee has created the “YFAC Word” as a way to pass that information on to parents so they too can be aware of these potential issues. In a report released by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) several conclusions were noted regarding teen’s perceptions of prescription drugs and use of them. • A majority of teens (62%) say prescription pain relievers are easy to obtain from medicine cabinets of family or relatives. As responsible as recycling and hazardous/e waste collections are, there are other options for repurposing goods. Just because you’re done with a t-shirt, phone, book, couch or television doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t look at it as brand new and look forward to months or years of enjoyment with the same product. After all, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure! • Teens 12-17 and young adults 18-25 represent the number 1 & 2 age groups in terms of abuse of prescription drugs. To repurpose goods, please explore these options: 1)Donate your products to a nearby second hand store or charity. This will help conserve our resources, provide someone with low cost necessities and may also earn you a tax rebate! • Teens are also abusing some over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold remedies to get high, which is especially troubling given teens’ easy access to these products. 2)Consider getting to know your neighbors better and bring your items to the Community Yard Sale on Saturday, April 25th, 2015. 3)Ask your friends and neighbors or place an ad to see if anyone else needs the very product you’re looking to dispose of. 4)Bring your items to a local shelter, church or community organization to see if their visitors could use these items. WINTER/SPRING 2015 • Teens describe the use of prescription drugs as “responsible,” “controlled,” “safe” when compared to street drugs. • More teens abuse prescription drugs than any illicit drug except marijuana. Most bothersome about these results is teens say parents are not discussing these dangers with them, even though research shows parental disapproval is a powerful way to keep teens from using drugs. Also, parents have the ability to significantly reduce these figures by restricting access to these medications. Considering this, YFAC wants to encourage parents with teens or preteens to take action. The main purpose of ONCDP is to establish policies, priorities, and objectives for the Nation’s drug control program. The goals of the program are to reduce illicit drug use, manufacturing, and trafficking, drug-related crime and violence, and drug-related health consequences.
