December 23, 2010 (San Diego's East County)-- Videographer Billy Ortiz traveled to Flinn Springs Park yesterday, capturing storm-swelled headwaters of Los Coches Creek. He spliced yesterday's shots together with some October images of areas further downstream, including a spectacular waterfall at the long forgotten Los Coches dam in Lakeside. Then he added a soundtrack to create this one-of-a-kind music video. Enjoy!

The trash cleanup and recycling effort runs from 3:30 p.m. until sunset at the school at 9669 Dunbar Lane in unincorporated El Cajon. Everyone is welcome, and minors must have a signed permission slip.
“Countywide, our residents and businesses have achieved a 57 percent recycling rate, and we’re going to work together to make it even higher,” said County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. “We hope East County residents will come out and show their commitment to the neighborhood and the environment on Tuesday for America Recycles Day.”

March 19, 2017 (San Diego's East County)--An estimated 900,000 gallon sewage spill was identified Friday, March 17th at Los Coches Creek near East Sierra Alta Way in unincorporated El Cajon, the County announced today. The sewage entered the creek after an underground sewer pipe became exposed and significantly damaged during the February 27th storms.
County of San Diego Public Works Crews discovered the pipe Friday morning during a routine infrastructure inspection and controlled the spill by approximately 1 p.m. the same day. Water quality samples are being collected along Los Coches Creek to evaluate the extent of potential sewage impacts.
The closure of Los Coches Creek to the public will remain in place until samples confirm that the water is no longer impacted from the spill.
