The leaves are starting to turn and will be falling soon. Gardens need to be put to bed for the winter, annuals need to be removed, and some ---PAGE BREAK--- perennials need to be pruned. Lots and lots to do. When we all work together to take care of our yards, the city looks better. It is the property owners’ responsibility to maintain and clean the curb and gutter in front of their home. The city does not have the capability of cleaning up all of the edges of city streets, this responsibility falls to the property owner. Don’t forget about the weeds that have sprung up along the streets and are drying up, falling over, and blowing around. Not only does this look bad but it creates a serious flooding problem as those weeds collect and clog storm drains. Please take a minute to look at any storm drains near your property and make sure they are cleared out. Our partners at the Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District are helping out by providing free leaf bags and places to dispose of bagged leaves. Free leaf bags can be picked up at the city offices (3330 S 1300 also provides a free landfill voucher for residents who want to haul a load of refuse to the landfill. You can find information for all of the services provides on the website. We often hear complaints from residents about neighboring properties that are not taken care of or properties that they drive by and notice that they look unkempt. Our code officers will take a look at each property that has a complaint lodged against it, but it is impossible for them to find all problem yards. They do their best to keep things looking good but it takes everyone's help. Note that when a code officer responds to a code complaint, they notify the property owner that they have 30 days to solve whatever the problem may be. If you have submitted a complaint against a property and are not seeing immediate results, please be patient as the property owner works to fix the problem. Our code officers will continue to stay in contact with the owner until the issue is resolved. Get out and enjoy the beautiful fall season—but also make sure to spend some time making sure your property looks the best it can. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Millcreek Youth Council is holding a Halloween Costume Drive October 2nd-13th.
