9-1-1 System Upgrade
This January, the Anaheim Police Department with the help of state funding, upgraded the City's 9-1-1 and business telephone lines. This has enabled the City to take advantage of next generation 9-1-1 features, which include the ability to send/receive text messages, and selective call routing once the infrastructure is in place throughout the State of California. |
Enhancing our Neighborhoods
Park visitors can now benefit from some recent enhancements. Community Services in partnership with Public Works has completed sidewalk repairs and gazebo rehabilitation to Chaparral, Modjeska, and Sage Parks. Additionally, this spring, the parking lots at Edison and Modjeska Parks will be repaired. |

Statewide drought- what can you do to help conserve water? |
 In light of Governor Brown's drought declaration in January, and because water in Southern California is a precious resource, Anaheim is encouraging all customers to reduce water use wherever possible. Water that customers save now will be available later in case the drought worsens.
Following are suggestions on how you can help:
- Spend only five minutes in the shower to save up to eight gallons of water each time.
- Turn off the water faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving to save up to 2.5 gallons per minute.
- Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes to save up to 50 gallons per week.
- Fix household leaks promptly to save up to 20 gallons per day.
- Clean sidewalks and driveways with a broom instead of a hose to save up to 150 gallons each time.
- Water your lawn one to two days a week instead of five days a week to save up to 840 gallons per week.
- Water lawns early in the morning or evening to reduce evaporation to save up to 25 gallons each time.
- Install a smart sprinkler controller that adjusts watering based on weather, soil type, amount of shade and plant type to save up to 40 gallons per day.
- Repair broken sprinkler heads and correct overspray to save up to 500 gallons per month.
- Use mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons a year.
