No grass or debris in gutters.

CITY OF SHELDON PUBLIC NOTICE

The City of Sheldon appreciates the effort to keep lawns mowed. This notice is to remind everyone that leaves and grass must not be deposited into the City gutters or streets; this creates problems for our storm water system. Here is our City Ordinance section:

135.03 PLACING DEBRIS ON. It is unlawful for any person to throw or deposit on any street or alley any glass, glass bottle, nails, tacks, wire, cans, trash, garbage, rubbish, litter, offal, leaves, grass, or any other debris likely to be washed into the storm sewer and clog the storm sewer, or any substance likely to injure any person, animal, or vehicle.

Per City Code 1.14, the fine is now $105 for first offense and up to $855 for subsequent offenses. Each day the issue is unaddressed counts as a separate offense.
