Now that it appears as though Mother Nature is done giving us snow, the City of Manitowoc is preparing to begin its regular street sweeping rounds.
The Street Sweeping Parking Ban will go into effect on Monday, April 3rd, with warning tickets being issued next week.
As a part of their street sweeping implementation, the city is also reminding residents to keep the streets as clean as they can, especially when it comes to grass clippings.
This yard waste, when sent onto the street, will inevitably end up in the sewer system, which means it will end up in our local lakes, creeks, and rivers.
These materials decompose and release phosphorous into the water, which stimulates algae growth.
Additionally, blowing grass clippings onto city streets is against the city ordinance.
