BOARD APPROVES EXPANSION OF GRAFFITI ABATEMENT SERVICES IN COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEM

LOS ANGELES COUNTY – The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $275,000 contract with Woods Maintenance Service to expand its graffiti removal services to include an additional 29 channels, reaches and debris basins in the west area of the County’s flood control system, announced Mayor Michael D. Antonovich.   

“To enhance the County’s zero tolerance graffiti policy, this vital graffiti abatement service will assist in curtailing gang activities, protecting our neighborhoods and improving the quality of life in our County communities,” said Antonovich. 

To report graffiti, the public is encouraged to contact the County’s graffiti removal hotline at (800) 675-HELP available 24 hours a day, seven days a week or the website: http://dpw.lacounty.gov/itd/dispatch/publicgraffiti/index.cfm?action=report

Graffiti is removed within 48 hours of notification; Monday through Friday in county rights-of-way, flood control channels, and private property in designated zero tolerance zones.
