Safe Clean Water: Ballona Creek Low Flow Treatment Facilities Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Years of planning, collaboration, and dedication have brought us together to celebrate this important milestone! 🎉

These new water treatment facilities will intercept and treat daily dry-weather urban runoff, reducing pollutants and removing bacteria from channel water to help meet water quality standards and protect our waterways. 🌿

The City has taken beneficial use of the facilities, with LASAN Hyperion operators continuing operations and maintenance as the transition to LASAN-CWCD is completed.

This achievement reflects the power of collaboration on a Capital Infrastructure Project (CIP), recognizing the hard work and commitment of City staff, contractors, and stakeholders who worked diligently through every stage of design, permitting, and construction.

A special thank you to our City Engineer Crystal Lee, Councilwoman Traci Park, LA Board of Public Works Commissioner Faith Mitchell, LA Sanitation and Environment Executive Director and General Manager Joone Kim-Lopez, and to all the City staff, contractors, and partners who helped bring this important project to life. 👏💙

A Bigger Freezer. More Food. Greater Impact.

St. Francis Center is celebrating the completion of our new freezer facility, made possible by $300,000 in grant funding through our partnership with Republic Services.

This important investment has expanded our capacity to store surplus food and provide up to 30% more food to families in Los Angeles.

Tomorrow, October 22, Republic Services employee volunteers and representatives from USC, Councilmember Jurado, and LA Sanitation will join our team for National Neighborhood Promise Day to serve breakfast, sort food, and pack pantry boxes for our neighbors in need.

Together, we’re strengthening our community, nourishing families, and Serving Hope!

Even our resident ducks know the value of kyuukei (休憩) - taking a mindful, quiet pause to soak in the sun. 🦆☀️

In our busy daily lives, finding a brief Zen moment to clear your mind is essential for the spirit. Let today’s peaceful scene from @japangardenla be your gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and find your center today.

We warmly look forward to sharing these tranquil moments with you in person soon. 🌿

We’re Ready for Rain… Are you?
The “Super” El Niño winter is coming, and we’ve been preparing for it.

From the City of L.A. Sanitation Dept:
Our goal is to avoid flooding the best we can, but when it does happen, we have 24-hour crews ready to dispatch at a moment’s notice. Our Customer Care Center is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 1-800-773-2489. Please call us if you notice clogged catch basins or flooding in the public right-of-way.

Link to a downloadable pdf is in our bio above ⬆️

Do you know how vast the City’s stormwater system is?

Catch Basins: 39,045
Channels: 52
Culverts: 3,151
Debris Basins: 81
Low Flow Structures: 1,098
Stormwater Pumping Plants: 9

LA Sanitation and Environment proactively cleans and maintains all of those structures to help keep stormwater and dry weather runoff flowing freely. Each has a unique identification number to assist with mapping and tracking work orders.

Additionally, our experienced staff maintain over 6,700 miles of sewer pipes, 42 sewage pumping plants, and four water reclamation plants, not to mention all the vehicles, equipment, and technology necessary for these ongoing year-round efforts.

All Tap. Always. All About Making an Impact.

Something as simple as tap water deserves a fresh perspective.

We partnered with our longtime client, Upper Water, to bring “All Tap, Always” to life, a public awareness campaign encouraging San Gabriel Valley communities to rethink everyday hydration and rediscover the benefits of tap water.

From campaign branding and messaging to graphic design, video production, web development, and promotional collateral, our team created a cohesive campaign designed to inform, engage, and inspire.

Because great creative isn’t just about looking good. It’s about making a message stick.
Big ideas. Everyday impact.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻? | 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘀

🚗 A little time stuck on the 405, but well worth the trip to Van Nuys!

Charley spent the day at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, moderating conversations with water professionals who know firsthand what it takes to get major infrastructure projects across the finish line.

What made the day valuable? Hearing the successes, the setbacks and the lessons learned from agencies tackling some of Southern California’s most ambitious water projects.

For Charley, the biggest takeaway was the willingness to have honest conversations about what needs to change. Better contracting approaches, smarter investments and fewer obstacles to getting projects done.

Because California doesn’t just need more water solutions. We need to get better at delivering them.
