When mowing your yard, make certain that you do not blow grass clippings into the street. When mowing, make the first few passes with the lawnmower blowing the grass clippings into the lawn NOT the street. If there are grass clippings on the street or sidewalk, use a broom or leaf blower to blow them back into the lawn. Do not use a hose to wash them into the street or strom drains.
Grass clippings that are blown into the street eventually enter the street storm drain. The grass clippings can form blockages in the storm drains or flow down Walnut Creek. Grass clippings contribute nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous, which cause unwanted and uncontrolled growth of algae and aquatic weeds in the waterways.
Also, please remember that City Code requires the growth of grass or weeds can be not be over 6 inches in height! Thanks!

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives for the safety and protection of others. Every year during National Police Week, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) promotes blue ribbons being tied on car antennas as a reminder to the public that many law enforcement officers have paid the ultimate price and given their lives in the line of duty. It is also to honor those officers who serve and protect our communities every day. Please feel free to come into City Hall and pick up a free blue ribbon. We hope that you will “fly the blue” all year long!
