Protect Your Property Value! Nuisance Abatement Team (NAT)<br />
The <strong>County</strong> has stepped up its code enforcement efforts in the Antelope Valley by creating a Nuisance<br />
Abatement Team (NAT) that focuses on serious violations requiring the response of multiple <strong>County</strong> departments.<br />
The NAT will visit locations to investigate code violations and<br />
public nuisance complaints at commercial and residential properties<br />
and conduct follow-up inspections to assure compliance.<br />
If you would like to report problem properties with serious or<br />
multiple (building, business, health, zoning) code violations,<br />
call or fax your complaint to:<br />
Glenis McLeod, NAT Coordinator<br />
Phone: (661) 723-4440<br />
Fax: (661) 723-4435<br />
health/environmental safety and code enforcement<br />
If your complaint does not warrant a visit by the NAT, it will be referred to the appropriate agency.<br />

Your Sewer Service Charges at Work:<br />
Inspections to Keep Sewer Drains<br />
Free and Clear<br />
The sewer system in your community is operated<br />
and maintained by the Consolidated Sewer<br />
Maintenance District of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
(District) which is managed by the <strong>County</strong><br />
Department of Public Works. The District provides<br />
a wide range of services, including sewer manhole<br />
inspections, sewer line cleaning, repair of the<br />
system, and responding to service calls relating to<br />
sewer outflows, odor problems, insect infestation,<br />
and other emergencies. If you experience or<br />
observe any sewer related problems, call our<br />
Public Works emergency hotline 24 hours a day,<br />
seven days a week at (800) 675-HELP (4357).<br />
In Spring 2009, a closed-circuit television sewer<br />
inspection project is planned for 38,803 feet of<br />
sewer lines in the unincorporated areas in the<br />
Antelope Valley. Under this program, van crews<br />
collect video data in pipe segments to identify any<br />
deficiencies and engineers determine if the sewer<br />
facilities should be repaired or replaced. The<br />
televising prioritizes focus on those sewers with the<br />
most potential for repair needs. Maintenance<br />
history, past overflow records, sewer locations, and<br />
age are some of the factors used to determine the<br />
priority of pipes to be televised.<br />
