COVID-19 Updates
Youth Sports Are Back in Fullerton
On February 19, 2021, the California Department of Public Health issued new guidelines to facilitate resuming youth sports competitions after nearly a year without games.
Fullerton youth sports competition can resume on Friday, February 26th, with modifications, as the County of Orange’s adjusted daily case rate per 100,000 dipped below the threshold level of 14 to 11.9.
Sports in the low and moderate contact categories (softball, baseball, and cheerleading) can proceed without testing. In the high-contact category (football, soccer, rugby – sports that are likely to be played without masks) testing may be required for players 13 and older. Players under 13 are exempt from testing. Test results must be available within 24 hours of competitions.
Despite the green light for competition, parents must sign consent waivers stating that playing within the new guidelines still may bring a risk of contracting COVID-19. Read more here.

OC San's State College Sewer Construction Project
 |
In 2017 the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) installed three miles of new regional sewer pipe on State College Blvd. from Yorba Linda Blvd. to just north of the 91 freeway in the City of Fullerton. Recently, four miles of regional sewer pipeline was installed in Anaheim which now allows for the two pipes to be connected creating one newly updated, and reliable sewer system. OC San is now making the final sewer connection on State College Blvd. between Via Burton and Orangethorpe Ave. with completion expected in May 2021.
Detailed information is available at www.ocsan.gov/StateCollege. Please contact OC San’s Construction Hotline at (657) 208-7900 or via email at ConstructionHotline@ocsd.com. Follow them on social media @OCSanDistrict.
