Hacienda Road
Storm Drain
|
|
On November 5 - 6, 2019, staff worked to clear a storm drain on Hacienda Road that was buried in 8 - 10 feet of dirt. While the City clears channels along major arterials such as Hacienda Road, the City does not have the legal authority to clean channels on private property nor the resources to maintain all drainage within the street right of way.
This is a friendly reminder that it is the responsibility of property owners to keep drainage facilities in working order. As a courtesy to La Habra Heights residents, sandbags will be available at City Hall and sand will be available at the park during the rainy season. Remember to bring a shovel.
|
|
Every year, during the summer, staff sees a rise in graffiti incidents at The Park. Unfortunately, other acts of vandalism have also occurred this year. The newly planted Hass Avocado tree was stolen earlier this year, and this month, the City sign at the entrance to the lower parking lot and the trail entrance sign are now missing. The signs were stolen on November 4, 2019.
If you have information regarding the missing signs, please contact City Hall at (562) 694-6302.
