🚫🌱 NO FERTILIZER June 1 – Nov 30
City Ordinance 2380-2018

It’s fertilizer blackout season in the City of Stuart. That means no fertilizers containing Nitrogen or Phosphorus may be applied from June 1 through November 30 each year.

Why it matters: Fertilizer runoff fuels harmful algae blooms that threaten our rivers, lagoons, and local wildlife. Let’s keep Stuart’s waterways clean—together!

⚠ Also Prohibited: Illegal dumping of paint, used motor oil, yard waste, trash, or any other pollutants into storm drains, ditches, ponds, lakes, streams, or waterways. 📞 Report violations: Call the City hotline at 772-600-1260

Hurricane season may be unpredictable, but preparation isn’t. 🌀

Today, four City of Stuart team members joined a long-term hurricane recovery exercise led by the Martin County Emergency Management Agency , working alongside partners from across the county to strengthen our recovery plans before a storm ever forms.

Milton Leggett, Stephanie Hughey, and Peter Kunen took on the challenges of “Hurricane Sailfish,” focusing on infrastructure recovery and restoring critical services. Meanwhile, Misti Guertin joined municipal leaders from around the region to develop communications strategies that help keep residents informed before, during, and after a storm.

Training exercises like this help ensure that when a real hurricane strikes, our teams are ready to respond, recover, and keep our community moving forward.
