For a limited time, West Basin will provide home delivery at no cost to recipients. There are a limited number of rain barrels available for delivery and the deadline to reserve barrels for delivery is January 20, 2022.

• Eligible residents can sign up for a pick-up event or home delivery to receive up to two free 50-gallon rain barrels by registering at www.westbasin.org/rain-barrelsor by calling 310-371-4633.

The County of Los Angeles Public Works and Public Health departments, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), are addressing reports of odors in the vicinity of Dominguez Channel in Carson, West Carson and neighboring communities.

The source of this gas and related odor is believed to be the natural decay of organic material (vegetation and marine life) at the bottom and sides of the Dominguez Channel. The odor is sufficiently pervasive to be considered a public nuisance to residents and those working and recreating nearby.

Los Angeles County Public Works is working aggressively to identify ways to address conditions within the channel, reduce the odor, and determine how long this naturally occurring event may last. However, until the odor event subsides, Public Health recommends preventing outdoor odors from entering the home by keeping doors and windows closed as much as possible while odors are present.

HOW DO I REPORT ODORS?
If you notice “rotten egg” or “sulfur” odors, you can report them. A complaint can be filed online with South Coast Air Quality Management District at www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality/complaints, or by telephone at 800-CUT-SMOG (800-288-7664).
