Spring is here and summers on its way and we would like to remind residents of the Village of some property upkeep rules:

No owner or occupant of any real property located within the Village of Waterloo shall allow such real property to become overgrown with brush, grass or weeds or allow the unlawful accumulation on such property of rubbish or trash.

It shall be the duty of the owner or occupant of any real property located within the Village of Waterloo to cut, trim and remove any such brush, grass or weeds thereon and to remove from such real property any accumulation of rubbish or trash thereon.

If such owner or occupant fails, neglects or refuses to so comply within five days after service of such notice, the Superintendent of Public Works shall cause the cutting and/or removal of the brush, grass or weeds or rubbish and trash. In any such case, the owner or occupant of such real property shall pay to the Village a fee of $150 for the first occurrence, $250 for the second occurrence and $400 for each occurrence thereafter.

Further codes can be found on the Villages website at waterloony.com. Have a safe and happy season!
