City Providing Sandbags to Guard Against Storms
With heavy winter rains predicted, the city is providing sandbags for residents.
“We have experienced problems with rain before and with El Nino. We want to be prepared,” said Brian McClure of the city’s Environmental Services Department.
Sand and sandbags are available to La Mirada residents in the parking lot behind the county library in the civic center at 13700 La Mirada Blvd.
Residents can take up to 10 bags per household, said McClure. Because of the limited amount of sandbags, proof of residency will be required.
Appointments are required and can be made Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. or on Saturday between 8 a.m. and noon.
Information: (562) 943-0131, Ext. 250.
