NOTICE REGARDING NOXIOUS VEGETATION (CITY NUISANCE ORDINANCE NO. 143)
Per the Nuisance Ordinance, the City publishes three notices beginning in March.  After the final notice in May, the City will begin the abatement process on any properties not in compliance
.
 - Section 6 of the Wasco Nuisance Ordinance describes the term noxious vegetation as, “Weeds more than 10” high; grass more than 10” high (excluding vegetation that constitutes an agricultural crop); poison oak or ivy; puncture vine; and any vegetation that is a health hazard, a fire hazard, or a traffic hazard because it impairs the view of a public thoroughfare.”

 - “Between May 15 and September 30 of any year, no owner or person in charge of property may allow noxious vegetation to be on property or in the right-of-way of a public thoroughfare abutting on the property. It shall be the duty of the owner or person in charge of property to cut down or to destroy grass, shrubbery, brush, bushes, weeds, or other noxious vegetation as often as needed to prevent them from becoming unsightly, from becoming a fire hazard, or in the case of weeds or other noxious vegetation, from maturing or from going to seed."
- In the event that a particular property has not been cleared of noxious vegetation prior to May 15, Section 6 states that, “The City is willing to abate such a nuisance on any particular parcel or property at the request of the owner of the property for a fee sufficient to cover the City’s cost of the abatement. In the absence of such request, the City intends to abate the nuisance and charge the cost of doing so to the property owner, the person in charge thereof, or the property itself”.
FYI: The Transfer Site located on Welk Road is open the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from noon to 4:00p.m. and accepts yard debris. For rates call 541-298-5149.
