CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC MID LA OFFICE KICKOFF EVENT

2240 W. Washington Blvd. just west of Western, north side

SUNDAY SEPT. 5TH 1 - 2:30 PM come and say hello

Midterm elections (Nov. 2) tend to have low voter turnout so the California Democratic Party has set up an office in the Western Heights community on Washington Bvld. Their pupose is to provide registered democratics who may find it difficult to get out to the voting booths, with a "vote by mail ballot" application.

They are looking for volunteers to walk precincts and distribute the applications or work phone banks to identify democratic voters who are interested in having the "vote by mail ballot" application sent to them. You can earn college credits, get letters of recommendation, looks great on college applications and resumes.

DWP Issues New Lawn Watering Rules

Saturday, 24 July 2010 11:51 Submitted by Wendy Fratecelli

Residents would be able to turn on their sprinklers three days a week -- as opposed to just two days -- under a new water rationing schedule approved today by the LA Board of Water and Power Commissioners.

The City Council still has to sign off on the plan before it can be implemented. Because of the extended drought, DWP customers are currently only allowed to irrigate their lawns for up to 15 minutes each Monday and Thursday, before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

New WateringTimetable Being Considered

Saturday, 14 August 2010 15:56 Dianne Lawrence

The LA Board of Water and Power Commissioners approved an amendment in the water rationing ordinance, which would allow residents to use their sprinklers three days a week instead of the current two. Odd-numbered addresses would irrigate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and even-numbered addresses on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays for up to 15 minutes.

Also, residents would be able to turn on “non-conserving nozzles,” such as sprinklers and bubblers, for up to eight minutes a day, or 24 minutes a week. “Conserving nozzles,” such as multi-stream rotary heads, could be turned on twice a day for up to 15 minutes each time, for a total of 90 minutes a week. The amendment is now waiting for a sign off by City Council
