Now that spring has sprung, it is time to bring out the lawn mowers. The City of Manitowoc is reminding citizens, that depositing grass clippings onto the street is unlawful and may be subject to a fine. The City asks those mowing their lawn to direct your mower away from the street and back onto your property and remove any clippings that may have been accidentally blown in the street. When debris enters the storm sewer inlets, it becomes wet and quickly decomposes adding unnecessary nutrients to our storm water system, which ultimately discharges to our streams, river and the lake. These excessive nutrients reduce the clarity and the quality of the waters we all enjoy.
