CD7 Rain Barrel Giveaway!
CD7 Rain Barrel Giveaway!

Join us for our upcoming CD7 Rain Barrel Giveaway! Proud to have started this program in 2014, and have distributed more than 3,000 rain barrels citywide. In partnership with Coca-Cola Steve List from the Sylmar Agriculture Learning Center, we are resuming the FREE rain Barrels for distribution to city residents. RSVP via Eventbrite (RSVPs are limited, as this is a first come, first served event).

Rainwater that falls on the roofs of houses can be collected and conveyed through roof gutters and downspouts to a rain barrel. Collected rainwater can be used for watering plants and irrigating gardens or lawns. Rainwater harvesting is a simple way to conserve water, save money on your water bill, and protect the environment.

I’m pleased to share that my Operation Bright SPOT, a targeted neighborhood cleanup program of our major commercial corridors in the district, has spent the past couple of months focusing on Foothill Blvd. throughout Sunland-Tujunga and Commerce Avenue in Tujunga.

My team completed work this past month on the final section of Foothill Boulevard in Tujunga, between Mt. Gleason and Lowell Avenue. We repainted faded red curbs, removed weeds and cleaned tree wells, cleaned up litter and graffiti, power washed the sidewalks, and swept a street that doesn’t have regularly scheduled and posted street sweeping.

To help us maintain these cleaner conditions, please download the MyLA311 app and report any issues you see along these segments, whether it be graffiti, dumping, potholes, or other issues.

If you have any questions regarding city services, COVID-19 resources, or other issues, please contact my Sunland-Tujunga District Office (818) 352-3287.
