每天都有人因狗袭击而遭受灾难性的伤害。狗乱跑或四处乱跑会造成许多严重甚至致命的事故。在加州，遵守公共场所的牵绳法律是每位宠物主人的法律责任。否则，狗主人可能要为其爱犬对其他人或动物造成的伤害承担责任。

在加利福尼亚州的大多数城市，让狗四处游荡（在大多数法规中称为四处乱跑）是违法的。 

在奥兰治县，根据规定 奥科 4-1-45， “任何拥有或负责、照顾、监护或控制任何狗的人不得故意或因未进行适当的照顾或控制而导致或允许任何此类狗进入任何公共财产，除非该狗被不超过六（6）英尺长的坚固链条或皮带束缚，并由有能力对该狗进行照顾、监护和控制的人负责。”

狗可以在指定的狗公园自由奔跑 

如果您希望让爱犬体验不拴绳的乐趣，橙县各地的指定狗狗公园都合法允许不拴绳。拉古纳伍兹的狗狗公园位于山脊路 (Ridge Route Drive) 23190 号，开放时间为上午 7 点至下午 7:15；拉古纳海滩的狗狗公园位于拉古纳峡谷路 (Laguna Canyon Road) 20672 号，开放时间为上午 6 点至下午 6 点。开放时间可能因季节和节假日而异。 

伸缩牵引绳的危险

伸缩牵引绳并非你（或你的狗狗）的好朋友。使用“扁平牵引绳”（一种通常由尼龙或皮革制成的标准6英尺长的狗牵引绳）的理由有很多，而伸缩牵引绳对人和狗狗来说都是危险的。 

伸缩牵引绳，有些可以延长至26英尺（约8米），可以让狗狗远离主人，从而迅速将散步变成危险的局面。例如，使用伸缩牵引绳的狗狗经常会跑到街道中央，或者不请自来地与其他狗狗或人接触。而使用6英尺（约1.8米）长的标准扁平牵引绳，则更容易重新控制或保护狗狗。

如果遛狗者被伸缩牵引绳缠住，或试图抓住牵引绳试图拉住爱犬，都可能导致烧伤、割伤甚至更严重的后果。许多人被一只已经到达牵引绳末端并继续向前的狗狗拽倒，导致瘀伤、擦伤和骨折。狗狗在挣脱牵引绳时，脖子也会突然受到猛烈的拉扯，从而遭受严重的伤害，包括颈部伤口、气管撕裂和脊柱损伤。

Earlier this month, the County of Orange notified the City of Laguna Woods about a white film on the surface of ponded water at the outfall (location where stormwater exits the storm drain system) near Aliso Creek. The county believed the film to be paint but a final determination could not be made.

The county’s observation presents a good opportunity to remind residents to practice stormwater best management practices during routine household activities. By implementing best management practices, homeowners can keep common pollutants off the ground and out of storm drains. 

Water that flows into storm drains is not treated. Runoff from homes and businesses may contain pollutants that have harmful effects on downstream creeks, rivers, bays and the ocean. Unlike household sewage, this water is not treated and can negatively impact recreational use, wildlife habitat and even human health.

Many household hazardous materials and stormwater pollutants that may be used in and around residences during routine household activities include: 

• Oils 
• Paints 
• Cleaners 
• Bleaches 
• Pesticides 
• Glues 
• Solvents 

Adopt these best management practices to keep storm drains clear of polluted runoff during household activities: 

• Plan and complete household paint projects when rain is not predicted. 
• Rinse tools such as paint brushes, buckets and rags in a sink connected to the sanitary sewer. Never wash tools where washwater can drain into the street, gutter or storm drain.  
• Sweep up debris and dispose of it in the trash. 

• Do not hose down driveways or sidewalks into the street or gutter. 

• If safe, contain, clean up and properly dispose of all hazardous waste spills. If unsafe conditions exist, call 911 to activate a proper response team. 
• Household hazardous materials must be stored indoors or under cover, and in closed and labeled containers. 
• Dispose of household hazardous waste at a local household hazardous waste collection center. Laguna Woods residents may also call WM Curbside at 800-449-7587 for free door-to-door household hazardous waste collection.

• Only purchase the types and amounts of materials needed. 
• Share unused portions of products with neighbors or community programs.

How H2OC Helps Protect County Water Resources 

H2OC is a cooperative stormwater program that includes all 34 cities in Orange County, the County of Orange and the Orange County Flood Control District. Clean and healthy beaches, creeks, rivers, bays, wetlands, and ocean are important to Orange County. H2OC provides resources to residents and businesses to encourage personal action and prevent polluted runoff from entering our waterways.  

访问 h2oc.org to learn more about runoff, water pollution and how you can be the solution to runoff pollution and protect our water resources. If you witness a violation, reach out to the county’s 24-hour pollution reporting hotline: 877-89-SPILL (1-877-897-7455).

本周，为南加州 26 个机构供水的大都会水务局宣布区域进入干旱紧急状态。 

考虑到最近的降雨和寒冷天气，这个时机可能显得有些奇怪；然而，要缓解旱情，可能要经历一整个冬天的暴风雨。虽然该宣言尚未改变现有的用水限制，但它提醒我们，我们需要共同努力减少用水量，以避免未来出现严重的用水限制。

VMS 园林绿化部门的工作人员一直与景观委员会密切合作，致力于减少整个村庄的用水量。草坪是景观用水的最大“罪魁祸首”。联合、第三和 GRF 三个机构今年都完成了耐旱植物的种植项目，并将于 2023 年完成更多种植。
