When mowing lawns, please refrain from allowing grass clippings to be
strewn into the roadways, curbs, and gutters. In addition to being unsightly, storm water will carry
the clippings and any chemical additives into our drainage system. This practice also allows
unwanted grass growth in the joints of the streets and curbs, compromising the integrity of the
same.
