LASAN’s Citywide Brownfields Program is excited to announce a new nature-based bioremediation project coming to Council District 9. In partnership with @caer.earth, we will be using a specialized toolkit of locally adapted plants and fungi to remove pollutants from the soil.

Treating suitable soil directly on-site reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions and truck trips from hauling. This will ultimately lower cleanup costs through these innovative methods and make it more financially feasible to transform vacant lots into parks, housing, and other valuable community spaces. We are looking forward to seeing the results as we start implementing these green remediation projects at future project sites.

We keep hearing that a strong #ElNiño season is in store for Los Angeles, and the worst time to discover a damaged sewer line is during a heavy storm.

Did you know that property owners (both residents and businesses) are responsible for maintaining the private sewer lateral pipe that connects their building to the City’s main sewer line? Heavy rain, fats/oils/grease (FOG), and invasive tree roots can cause hidden cracks or blockages, leading to costly sewage backups in your home or business.

LASAN is helping you prepare before the storm hits:

Hire a licensed and bonded contractor to perform a video (CCTV) inspection of your sewer lateral.

Get up to $300 back with LASAN’s Sewer Lateral CCTV Rebate.

If the inspection reveals damage, you can also qualify for up to $2,500 back through our Sewer Lateral Repair Rebate after repairs are made by a licensed and bonded contractor.

Protect your property before the heavy rains arrive and get money back.

Apply online through MyLA311 at myla311.lacity.org (search “Sewer or Sidewalk Rebates”), email San.SLRebates@lacity.org, or visit sanitation.lacity.gov/services/sewer-lateral-cctv-rebate. (link in bio)

Questions? Call our 24/7 Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489. 🌧️🏠

🎃 Did you know millions of pumpkins are thrown away after Halloween? Help us change that!

The Great Pumpkin Bash is back on Sunday, November 1, at Pan Pacific Park. Bring your old jack-o’-lanterns to SMASH and compost while helping keep organic waste out of our landfills.

We’ll have bounce houses, face, painting, free food, and prizes while you’re there! Just make sure your pumpkins are completely free of paint candle, wax, glitter, or other non-biodegradable decorations before composting.

See you there! taken in Pan Pacific Park by @lacitysan

Great strategy starts with alignment. Our Executive Director and General Manager brought our leadership team together to engage, collaborate, and map out the future. It was a powerful reminder of why in-person connection matters.

While digital tools keep us moving, nothing truly replaces the power of being in the same room. Seeing each other face-to-face changes the dynamic. It breaks down silos, sparks spontaneous ideas, and strengthens the relationships that keep our teams resilient. By taking the time to talk through our shared vision together, we aren’t just building a better roadmap… we’re building a stronger foundation of trust across the organization.

If this is your vibe, stay tuned because we need more great people who want to be part of this amazing work!

What a busy weekend for LASAN in LA! Mayor Bass’ #SHINELA event was combined with a kickoff event for #EMBRACELA in #CouncilDistrict8. The family of late Councilmember Tom LaBonge was there along with Capri Maddox from @lacivilrights. We congratulate Dr. Betty Price, who was honored with certificates for her contributions to the community, including co-founding EMBRACE LA. Thank you to all who stopped by our table to chat with Renee about rates and neighborhood cleanliness! taken in Los Angeles, California by @lacitysan

A moment of quiet pause. 🌊

In traditional Japanese garden design, a gentle stream often carries a grander story. Through the concept of mitate (見立て), the art of using subtle representation to evoke a vast landscape, this quiet water feature is crafted to embody the spirit of a roaring, torrential river wild in nature.

As you watch the water weave gently through the stones, where does your imagination take you?

LA, we were blown away this past Saturday by your commitment to our City of Angels. Seeing so many neighbors coming together to learn about city services was truly inspiring!

Thank you for being in Council Chambers to hear Mayor Bass and our new GM speak, for stopping by our LASAN booth and the #PureWaterLosAngeles booth, for participating in our #ZeroWasteEvents workshop, and for letting our team help you sort your waste after meals. We enjoyed meeting all of you and already can’t wait for next year’s #CongressofNeighborhoods!
