Swimming pools and hot tubs are enjoyable and they are popular in Chino Hills.In order to properly maintain them, they must be drained periodically. When youare ready to drain your pool or hot tub, please follow the steps below to ensure thatharsh pool chemicals are not allowed to enter the storm drain system through the

street gutters which causes pollution concerns.

Many newer pools are built to drain directly into the sanitary sewer system. Yourplumber or pool maintenance company can tell you if your pool has that feature.If not, follow these simple tips to ensure that your pool or hot tub water can besafely drained to the gutter:

1. De-chlorinate - Chlorine naturally dissipates over time and should be completely gone if the wateris left standing for 3-5 days. Use a pool testing kit prior to discharge to ensure the concentration of chlorine is zero.

2. Check pH Levels – determine the pH of the water before draining the hot tub or pool, or ask yourpool maintenance company to check the level. The pH level should be between 6.5 and 8.5.

3. Drain Only Clear Water - Make certain the water is free of any discoloration, dirt, or algae.4. Control Flow – Make certain that the ow of draining water is controlled so that it does not cause

erosion problems on your property or your neighbor’s property. Use the water on your landscape if possible.

For further information contact the City’s NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System)Program Coordinator at (909) 364-2714. More tips are available at www.sbcountystormwater.orgwww.sbcountystormwater.org.

Chino Hills has worked to protect 3,000 acres of open space whichprovide beautiful views of green rolling hills during the spring. Thatlush vegetation must be cut back to reduce the danger of wildland res that summer brings. Weed abatement crews from the PublicWorks Department work from April through the end of June to cutthe weeds and reduce the vegetation in our open spaces. In someareas sheep are doing the work, in other areas people and equipmentare doing the work. This year about 1,800 sheep have beenmunching their way through

the slopes of the Rancho Hills area. Vegetation is cleared from a zoneof about 30 to 100 feet from the perimeter fence in the open spaceareas depending upon conditions. Fire breaks are also cut in 50 – 100foot paths within the open space areas. Fuel Modi cation Zones

are maintained and landscaped areas that abut open space areas areplanted with shrubs and trees from an approved list. This major weedabatement effort reduces re danger in the open space areas.

The West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District has been conductingyearly tick surveillance in Chino Hills. Current trends show tick populationshave been increasing in the Butter eld Ranch area. Ticks can transmitbacteria, viruses, and diseases such as spotted fever. Ticks have been found inButter eld Park, Mystic Canyon Park, and at Chino Hills State Park. Visitorsto these locations, and other areas with high vegetation, should take precautions.

The West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District's mission is to enhance health and quality of lifethrough the control of mosquitoes and other vectors and the diseases they transmit. About 80% of theirwork is related to mosquitos and West Nile Virus. They also provide assistance with y infestations andbees. The District serves as a resource for information. Their website www.wvmosquito.orgwww.wvmosquito.org includeshelpful information about bedbugs, bees, mosquitos, rodents, and ticks. The District's boundaries includethe cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and unincorporated County areas.The District serves over 520,000 residents in 200 square miles of the West Valley.

A worker from the West Valley Mosquito and VectorControl District prepares to conduct a “ agging”operation to determine the level of tick infestation.The worker is using annel, which the ticks jumpupon as the worker brushes it along the vegetation.

Watch For Ticks InWatch For Ticks InButterfield RanchButterfield Ranch

The best way to avoid ticks is to avoid the edges of trails, grassy areas, and brush. Ticks jump aboard fora meal when an animal or a human brushes past thenatural vegetation. Light-colored clothing makes iteasier to see ticks; and long pants and long sleevesmake it harder for ticks to get beyond clothing. TheDistrict recommends using a good repellent. Theactive ingredients DEET and Picaridin are effectiverepellents that may be applied directly to the skin.Repellents containing Premethrin are effective andfor use on clothing only.

Avoid TicksIt is also important to perform a "tick check"on yourself, your children and familymembers, and pets. When performing a tick check, visually inspect and feel areas such ashair, scalp, groin, feet, socks, and waistband.Visit the District’s website atwww.wvmosquito.orgwww.wvmosquito.org and select “vectors”for more information about how to spot andremove ticks. Please call the District at(909) 635-0307 if you wish to have a tick identi ed, have questions, or want moreinformation. Please call the District if yoususpect that you have found a brown dog tick.

Bees are a vital part of our economic and agricultural society. Various threats are decimating our beepopulations. Without bees, life as we know it would not be possible. Bee swarms are almost always docileand very common. A swarm is a traveling unit of bees which include one queen and a host of workers thatleave the nest when a new queen is reared. Swarming bees often rest in shaded areas near trees and bushes,under eaves of homes, and even under park benches. It's vital that all residents leave ALL bees alone! Aswarm is a transient state; the bees will often leave the area in 24 to48 hours after the queen is rested. The West Valley Mosquito andVector Control District recommends allowing bees ample time toleave on their own before pursuing extermination. If you encountera swarm or nest, just walk away from the area and avoid it until thebees leave the area. For more information about bees, visit the WestValley Mosquito and Vector Control Districts website atwww.wvmosquito.orgwww.wvmosquito.org or call (909) 635-0307. The District may beable to help nd a beekeeper to help remove a swarm or nest.
