Mowing season is just around the corner. Ely is a MS4 community, meaning that we have specific regulations we must adhere to concerning storm water and run off. As a reminder, is is not good storm water management practice to cut/blow your grass clippings into the street. Grass clippings can clog street drains, which can lead to flooding and issues for our sewer system and waterways.
