每天都有人因狗襲擊而遭受災難性的傷害。狗亂跑或四處亂跑會造成許多嚴重甚至致命的事故。在加州，遵守公共場所牽狗繩的法律是每位寵物主人的法律責任。否則，狗主人可能要為其愛犬對其他人或動物造成的傷害負責。

在加州的大多數城市，讓狗狗四處遊蕩（在大多數法規中稱為四處亂跑）是違法的。 

在奧蘭治縣，根據規定 奧科 4-1-45， 「任何擁有或負責、照顧、監護或控制任何狗的人不得故意或因未進行適當的照料或控製而導致或允許任何此類狗進入任何公共財產，除非該狗被不超過六（6）英尺長的堅固鏈條或皮帶束縛，並由有能力對該狗進行照料、監護和控制的人負責。」

狗可以在指定的狗公園自由奔跑 

如果您希望讓愛犬體驗不拴繩的樂趣，橙縣各地的指定狗狗公園都合法允許不拴繩。拉古納伍茲的狗狗公園位於山脊路23190號，開放時間為上午7點至下午7點15分；拉古納海灘的狗狗公園位於拉古納峽谷路20672號，開放時間為上午6點至下午6點。開放時間可能因季節和假日而異。 

伸縮牽引繩的危險

伸縮牽引繩並非你（或你的狗狗）的好幫手。使用「扁平牽引繩」（通常由尼龍或皮革製成的標準6英尺長的狗繩）的理由有很多，而伸縮牽引繩對人和狗狗來說都是危險的。 

伸縮牽引繩，有些可以延伸至26英尺（約8公尺），可以讓狗狗遠離主人，從而迅速將散步變成危險的局面。例如，使用伸縮牽引繩的狗狗經常會跑到街道中央，或不請自來地與其他狗狗或人接觸。而使用6英尺（約1.8公尺）長的標準扁平牽引繩，更容易重新控製或保護狗狗。

如果遛狗者被伸縮牽引繩纏住，或試圖抓住牽引繩試圖拉住愛犬，都可能導致燒傷、割傷甚至更嚴重的後果。許多人被一隻已經到達牽引繩末端並繼續向前的狗狗拽倒，導致瘀傷、擦傷和骨折。狗狗在掙脫牽引繩時，脖子也會受到突然的猛拉，從而遭受嚴重的傷害，包括頸部傷口、氣管撕裂和脊椎損傷。

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: 

• 油 
• 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.  

訪問 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).

This week, the Metropolitan Water District, which provides water to 26 agencies throughout Southern California, declared a regional drought emergency. 

The timing may seem odd given the recent rain and cold weather; however, it would take an entire winter of storms to make a dent in the drought. While the declaration has not changed existing water restrictions yet, it is a reminder that we collectively need to do all we can to reduce water consumption to avoid severe restrictions in the future.

VMS Landscaping Department staff has been working diligently with the landscape committees to reduce water usage throughout the Village. Grass is the biggest culprit in landscape water usage; United, Third and GRF have all completed projects this year to install drought tolerant plantings, with more to come in 2023.
