🌱 REMINDER: PLEASE CLEAN UP GRASS CLIPPINGS! 🌱

Residents are reminded to clean up all grass clippings and yard debris after mowing and do not blow grass clippings into the street.

🚫 Grass clippings, leaves, and other yard debris can enter our storm drains and cause problems with our sewer system, including clogged drains and drainage issues.

Please help protect our sewer system and keep our streets and neighborhood clean.

✅ Keep grass clippings on your property
✅ Sweep or blow clippings back onto your lawn
✅ Keep storm drains and gutters clear

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: This will be strictly enforced by Village Code Enforcement.

Please be considerate of your neighbors and our community by cleaning up after mowing.
