Dog Owners SCOOP, SCOOP, SCOOP IT UP:
Owners are reminded to control and care for your pets. The District has received many complaints regarding loose dogs and a lack of potty pick up. The Beach and our neighborhood streets are not pet restrooms. Please be responsible and remember to keep your dog on a leash and clean up after them when nature calls. Thank you to those pet owners that do comply.

Pesticide use:
Residents are reminded to use caution when using pesticides in areas that children and animals come in contact with. Recently residents have reported animal illnesses due to incidental contact with pesticides.

Water Conservation:
Did you know Southern California is currently experiencing a drought and the potential cutback of imported water supplies is being contemplated? Residents need to be proactive and begin implementing water conservation measures in what could prove to be an extended drought cycle. Responsible water use is the key to conservation. Please see our Water Conservation page for more information and tips.
