BRIEFLY IN THE NEWS: Water district to host forums
The Foothill Municipal Water District, the major intermediary for imported water to the Crescenta Valley and foothill areas, on Thursday announced a pair of community forums to be held through the end of the month.
The Crescenta Valley Water District imports a major portion of its water from Foothill, which in turn is supplied by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The public forums were scheduled to provide residents and property owners with updated information on the ongoing water supply challenges, plans for the development of new local water supplies, conservation methods and the current mandatory controls that proliferate the area.
District officials also plan to discuss an aging water supply infrastructure and the need to finance ongoing upgrades and repairs to ensure adequate delivery ability.
The public is encouraged to attend the forums to provide input and ask questions of local water officials.
The first forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Charles W. Eliot Middle School, 2184 N. Lake Ave. in Altadena.
The second forum is planned for 6 p.m. July 30 at Verdugo Hills Hospital, 1812 Verdugo Blvd.

Officials issue heat advisory
Los Angeles County health officials this week warned of yet another weekend heat wave, with temperatures forecasted to climb into triple digits through Sunday.
The National Weather Service forecast possible highs of 103 degrees in the Burbank-Glendale region Saturday, and 104 degrees Sunday. Little relief was expected in the mountains, with temperatures in the lower elevations still expected to be in the low 90s.
Public health officials warned residents, especially seniors and children, to wear loose fitting clothing, stay hydrated and avoid vigorous outdoor exercise or work, especially during peak daytime hours.
The city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department will be operating a summertime “cooling station” at the Adult Recreation Center, 201 E. Colorado, for “seniors and frail adults.”
The program, which includes lunch for a suggested $2.50 donation, runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
The center will be air-conditioned and have iced water are available.
