The Los Angeles City Council this week moved to improve its pollution response after the 17 million gallon sewage spill from the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant last month.
Councilmembers Mitch O’Farrell and Paul Koretz introduced a motion Aug. 10 that would instruct the city’s sanitation department to look into improvements that can be made to the department’s public response system, after the public was not immediately warned of the spill by the city’s sanitation department and public health department.
