Face of the City

Laura Arnot, Environmental Compliance Inspector

For this week’s Face of the City – we want you to meet Laura Arnot, Environmental Compliance Inspector!

Laura started off with the City as a Utilities Administrative Coordinator and was promoted to Environmental Compliance Inspector in September!

As an Environmental Compliance Inspector, Laura is responsible for public outreach on illicit discharge education, the FOG (fats, oils, and grease) program, and backflow prevention. She will visit local businesses and work with them to come up with solutions to meet environmental safety standards. 

“Educating our community is especially important as we are celebrating holidays. We will be cooking for our families and need to remember to keep fats, oils, and grease out of the drains, so pipes don’t clog and cause sewage backup,” said Laura. “It is my passion to keep our environment healthy, because that, in turn, will keep our community healthy and we will all enjoy a high quality of life.”

Outside of work, Laura loves spending time with her husband, Danny Arnot, who works on lifts stations for St. Johns County, and her stepson, Cash. They enjoy going camping, kayaking, hiking, and traveling. 

King Tide Alert

November 23 - 26

King Tides are the highest predicted high tides of the year, and they often cause nuisance flooding in coastal and low - lying areas. More severe flooding can occur if the King Tide coincides with severe weather conditions (heavy rain, strong winds, big waves). However, sea level rise is causing these tides to happen more frequently, last longer, and extend further inland.
 
To remain safe during a King Tide, avoid driving through standing water. If necessary to drive through standing water, proceed slowly and with caution to avoid creating a wake. Avoid parking and leaving vehicles in areas prone to flooding. For more information, check out  CityStAug Weather Stem  and the  City's website.
