The City would like to thank the community members and partner groups that attended our 41^st annual Arbor Day celebration and tree planting at Adlena Park. A fun, family-friendly event was enjoyed by all. We appreciate the community’s interest in our urban forest and we are proud to celebrate Fullerton’s trees and the Adlena community. Special thanks to our partner groups, West Coast Arborists (WCA), Cal State Fullerton, and Southern California Edison (SCE), for donating, coordinating, and volunteering their time and supplies.

The City would like to update you on the recent streetlight outages in the West Hill/Dale, W. Malvern/Highland, and Evergreen neighborhoods:

West Hill/Dale

The outage was reported earlier this week and a City electrician conducted the investigation. The cause is thought to be a problem with the RO transformer that belongs to SCE (Southern California Edison). Edison has been notified and the City is waiting on the outcome of their investigation. At this time, we have not been provided with a timeline for the repairs, but we will update our website as more information becomes available.

Malvern/Highland

Earlier this week, City staff conducted an investigation to determine the cause of the outage. At this time, it has been determined that there is an issue on the City side of the conduit. The City is actively working to repair the problem. Repairs are anticipated to be completed this week or early next week.

Evergreen

The City is currently investigating reports of light pulsing and will be conducting tests this week to determine the cause.

For future updates and more information on the longer-term issues regarding the City’s high-voltage streetlight system, please visit our website: Street Light Out | Fullerton, CA (cityoffullerton.com).

Pets need to be prepared for emergencies too! Time to “Prep Your Pet”.

Take a moment to create a pet “go bag” for your furry, feathered, scaly, and hoofed friends.

Place items in a backpack or bag. Keep copies of vaccination records in a waterproof bag and make sure your pet is microchipped.

Ask yourself these questions:

• If I had to evacuate, where could I go with my pet?

• What route would I take?

• Who can I call if I can’t get home to care for my pet?

The "Go Bag" should include; 

• Seven days worth of food 
• Seven days of bottled water 
• Food and water bowls 
• Extra collars, harnesses, and leashes
• Pet's medication
• Clean up supplies
• Flashlight
• Blankets, toys and chews
• First Aid kit
