Active San Gabriel Valley serves as the Rio Hondo Watershed Coordinator, one of twelve Watershed Coordinators throughout Los Angeles County. As Watershed Coordinator, we support the Safe, Clean Water Program by:
- Engaging with local communities to gather input about their water-related issues and priorities, especially in relation to stormwater projects that improve water quality, increase local water supply, and support community enhancements.
- Educating the public about the Safe, Clean Water Program, its goals, projects, and how residents can participate and provide feedback.
- Supporting applicants and project teams by connecting them to technical resources, helping develop project ideas, and guiding them through the process from concept to implementation.
- Facilitating collaboration between cities, agencies, community organizations, and other interested parties to ensure projects reflect diverse community interests and maximize program benefits.
All LA County residents are encouraged to engage with the Safe, Clean Water Program:
- Fill out the Community Strengths & Needs Assessment, which informs what projects get funded by the Program.
- Advocate for projects that address community needs to your city.
- Attend public SCWP events such as Watershed Area Steering Committee meetings or community events with the Watershed Coordinator team.
- Learn more about your watershed and contact your Watershed Coordinator with questions or project ideas.
