Sandbags, Sand Available to Residents in Anticipation of Rain
|
Empty sandbags and loose sand will be available at many locations throughout the City of Moreno Valley in anticipation of a series of three storms expected to bring periods of rain to Riverside County beginning Friday night and lasting through next Thursday. The heaviest rain is expected tonight and Wednesday into Thursday.
The City of Moreno Valley is offering free sandbags and loose sand to help residents prevent damage from possible flooding due to the rain.
Sandbags are limited to 25 per resident unless special circumstances require more than this amount. Residents are encouraged to bring shovels to fill their own sandbags.
Sandbag supplies are available for Moreno Valley residents at these locations:
Empty sandbags and loose sand
- City Yard Main Office – 15670 Perris Boulevard. Available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.
- Fire Station 2 – 24935 Hemlock Ave, Moreno Valley, CA 92557
- Fire Station 48 – 10511 Village Rd, Moreno Valley, CA 92557
- Fire Station 58 – 28040 Eucalyptus Ave, Moreno Valley, CA 92555
Sand and empty sandbags are available at the fire stations listed above any day, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Please note that fire personnel may not be at the stations at all times due to response activities and sand may not be accessible.
Tips to help prevent rainstorm-related problems:
- Place sandbags around doorways.
- Pile sandbags two or three bags high outside the home to create a water barrier.
- Residents living adjacent to hill areas should cover up bare soil areas with plastic covering, since extreme water saturation can affect the stability of the soil.
- Make sure your rain gutters are cleared out and that your drains are free of debris.
- Prepare the outside of your home by bringing in things that can get ruined by excessive water.
- Observe all “Flooded" warning signs and “Road Closed” signs.
- Do not attempt to cross any road which has a significant amount of standing or flowing water.
- If you see a storm drain catch basin in the street that is plugged and not draining, alert the City's Public Works Department immediately by calling 951-413-3160.
- For more information, please call the Moreno Valley City Yard at 951.413.3160 or the Moreno Valley Fire Department at 951.486.6780.

Ring in the New Year by Adopting a Pet from the Animal Shelter
|
Trying to start 2019 off right by eating better, exercising more, and just being a better person?
We can't help you with your diet, because, well, carbs are delicious. But there are animals who need adopting from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter.
And adopting a new dog or cat makes you a pretty good person!
Not to mention the fact that pet owners tend to live longer, have lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and get more exercise. (Fido needs to go for a walk, right?)
Visit the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter today, and give one of the shelter's dogs or cats a loving, forever home!
Dogs and cats will be available for adoption at reduced rates during the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter’s “New Year's Pet Adoption Event.
This special event will continue from January 22-24 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Dogs will be available for $60 and cats will be available for $5.
The deeply discounted adoption fees includes spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, and a HomeAgain microchip.
Adoption Gift Certificates are also available at the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter, located at 14041 Elsworth Street.
For more information about adopting, contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit the city’s website.
Start 2019 off right - and adopt a pet!
Your waistline - and your heart - will thank us!
