GIVE YOUR LAWN A SUMMER VACATION
Increased rainfall in the summer months can cause nutrients from fertilizer to reach water bodies and lead to environmental issues like algae blooms, fish kills and water quality problems.
 
To prevent this, the citywide fertilizer ban will be in effect June 1 - September 30. Do without fertilizer over the summer to help keep our waterways healthy.
