Warm weather means more mowing and property upkeep

Huntingburg – The City of Huntingburg issued a few property maintenance reminders to residents as the warm weather brings on more mowing and property upkeep.

• Please keep the grass mowed regularly as the maximum grass height allowed is nine inches;
• If grass is blown into the street, inlets, or sidewalks while mowing, grass clippings must be cleaned up when finished;
• If you have a storm inlet in the curb in front of your house, please keep it clean and clear of any debris, which will help with flooding;
• If you have an open end of a pipe or any type of storm water feature in your yard, please keep it clear of debris;
• Dead trees should be removed promptly from property;
• All trees and shrubs should be trimmed to not obstruct the public right-of-way;
• Vehicles on property must be operable and have a current license;
• Auto related parts may not be visible from a public street or alley; and
• Covering parts or inoperable vehicles with a tarp is not allowed.
