The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the State of California declared a public health emergency in response to coronavirus on March 4, 2020. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the current risk to the general public in Los Angeles County of getting COVID-19 is low. All confirmed cases are being isolated and close contacts are quarantined. There are no known significant exposures to the general public.
The City of La Habra Heights is closely monitoring the situation. The health and safety of the community is of utmost importance. As with any potential threat, like earthquakes or wildfires, it is important to remain calm, read information from trusted sources like the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) and Los Angeles County Public Health Department, and take precautionary measures to prepare yourself and your family and help prevent the spread.
Since its discovery in December 2019, mainland Chinese authorities have identified thousands of human infections, resulting in thousands of deaths associated with this novel (new) coronavirus, which began in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. In addition, novel coronavirus infections have been confirmed in numerous travelers in the United States and a growing list of countries internationally. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 32 total cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Los Angeles County, including cases reported by Long Beach and Pasadena Health Departments.
Public Health continues to recommend that the public do the following to protect themselves and others from respiratory illnesses:
- Avoid non-essential travel, public gatherings, or places where large groups of people congregate, such as ticketed events (such as theaters, concert halls, and sporting events) if you are at higher risk of getting very sick from infection, such as the elderly (65 or older), people with underlying health conditions, and pregnant women.
- Abstain from all cruise ship travel, as suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Avoid travel to all areas where there are outbreaks of COVID-19.
- Follow all social distancing recommendations issued by Public Health.
- If you are mildly sick with a fever, stay home until you have been fever-free for 72 hours, except to get medical care.
- Those with high risk factors and who have fever or new or worsening cough, should consider contacting their providers earlier when they are sick.
- Event organizers should consider postponing or cancelling non-essential community events, especially those that may be attended by the elderly, pregnant women, or people with chronic health conditions.
Please read the Public Safety section below for more information COVID-19.

The City Council directed staff to send out a public notice regarding a public hearing to consider increasing solid waste service rates for residential customers. The La Habra Heights City Council will hold a public hearing on Thursday, April 23rd, 2020 at 6:30 P.M., at City Hall, to consider a proposed increase to the solid waste service rates for
residential
customers.
Pursuant to the City’s franchise agreement with Republic Services, residential solid waste service rates include the cost of disposing of solid waste at the landfill operated by the County. The County did not charge for the disposal of green material used as alternative daily cover (cover material placed on the surface of the landfill). Due to the passage of Assembly Bill 1594 in 2014, commencing on January 1, 2020, the County began charging for the disposal of green material used for alternative daily cover because this use will no longer constitute diversion through recycling. The purpose of the proposed increase to the solid waste service rates for residential customers is to pay for the increased disposal cost associated with composting the yard waste. The proposed increased rates are provided in the link below. If the City Council approves this item, the rates effective May 1, 2020 will be reflected in the June - July 2020 billing. The rates effective July 1, 2020 will be reflected in the August – September billings.
