LAKEPORT, Calif. — As temperatures drop, it's time to think about winterizing your home's plumbing.

Frozen pipes can cause major headaches and expensive damage, but a few simple steps can help you stay ahead of the freeze.

The city of Lakeport offers the following tips on how to prepare your pipes for the chilly months ahead.

Insulate exposed pipes: Wrap pipes in unheated areas, like your garage, attic or crawl spaces, with pipe insulation. Foam sleeves or heat tape work wonders.

Disconnect outdoor hoses: Remove and store garden hoses. Drain outdoor faucets and consider installing faucet covers for extra protection.

Seal drafts: Check around windows, doors, and where pipes enter your home. Seal gaps and cracks to keep cold air out and warm air in.

Let faucets drip: During freezing weather, let a small trickle of water run from faucets connected to exposed pipes. Running water is less likely to freeze!

Keep the heat on: Even if you're away, keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F to prevent freezing inside your home.

Open cabinets: In extreme cold, open cabinet doors under sinks to circulate warm air around pipes.

Know where your main water shut-off valve is: If a pipe bursts, you’ll need to shut off the water quickly. Locate the valve now to save time later.

Preventing frozen pipes not only protects your home but also saves water and money. Don’t let the cold catch you off guard — take action today.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — In response to the ongoing opioid epidemic, Lake County Behavioral Health Services has released a request for proposals to fund innovative programs aimed at reducing opioid-related harm and supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.

This initiative is part of the County’s plan to allocate funds received through the national opioid settlements.

In 2021, Janssen Pharmaceuticals and three major opioid distributors — McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health — reached a historic $26 billion settlement for their role in the opioid epidemic.

As part of this settlement, California is receiving approximately $2.05 billion over 18 years, with 70% of these funds distributed directly to local governments for opioid abatement activities.

Lake County has received over $5.2 million in settlement funds so far and will continue to receive annual payments for the next 16 years.

These funds are earmarked for initiatives that align with state-mandated High Impact Abatement Activities, which prioritize evidence-based solutions such as expanding treatment infrastructure, harm reduction programs, and support for vulnerable populations.

Developing a community-centered plan

Over the past year, Lake County Behavioral Health Services has worked with community members, stakeholders and experts to identify Lake County’s unique needs and develop a plan for effectively utilizing these funds.

Through community conversations, stakeholder engagement sessions, and input from individuals with lived experience, the county identified critical gaps in services and prioritized areas for investment. This collaborative process ensures the county’s plan aligns with both local priorities and state requirements.

Request for proposals released

Lake County Behavioral Health Services is now inviting organizations to submit proposals to deliver services identified in the county’s opioid settlement funds expenditure plan.

Specifically, the county is seeking proposals for the following initiatives:

• Mobile harm reduction program: Providing outreach, naloxone distribution, and harm reduction services in underserved areas.
• Safe spaces and activities for youth: Establishing prevention-focused spaces and programs for youth.
• Youth residential treatment facility: Developing an ASAM 3.1 certified program for youth with SUD.
• Transitional age youth recovery residence: Creating a sober living program tailored to young adults aged 18–24.
• Comprehensive substance use disorder treatment facility: Offering ASAM 3.1/3.5/3.7 levels of care with withdrawal management services.

These programs represent a significant step toward addressing the opioid crisis and its devastating impact on the community.

Organizations with experience in harm reduction, treatment or prevention are encouraged to apply.

The full request for proposals, or RFP, is available on the county’s website at Lake County CivicEngage.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by 5 p.m. Jan. 10, 2025. Questions regarding the RFP may be directed to Elise Jones at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

“Addiction is a complex, chronic condition that requires a comprehensive and compassionate response,” said Elise Jones, director of Lake County Behavioral Health Services. “The release of this RFP reflects our county’s commitment to addressing the opioid crisis with programs that save lives, support recovery, and build a healthier future for all residents.”
