Hazardous Vegetation Abatement
Each year after the rains, vegetation can quickly grow out of control. Tall weeds and overgrowth can harbor vermin and create other nuisances. Weeds and brush are not only unsightly but also pose a significant safety hazard when they become dry fuel for fire to consume. In addition, overgrowth of vegetation can impede the public's ability to use the streets and sidewalks.
The City's Hazardous Vegetation and Rubbish Abatement Program requires property owners to alleviate potentially hazardous conditions and to maintain their property throughout the year.
The City's Hazardous Vegetation Abatement initiative entails the clearing of flammable materials like weeds, brush, dead trees, and debris from undeveloped parcels within city bounds. This includes addressing nuisances like fill dirt and refuse resulting from unauthorized dumping. It's a collaborative effort with property owners as outlined in the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, Chapter 8.18.152.
With summer quickly approaching, we want to remind you to proactively maintain and care for your property.
Lake Elsinore Lake Watch
Based on recent lab results from lake water sampling and guidance from the California State Water Board, the City of Lake Elsinore is announcing that current levels of toxins from algae warrant the posting of a “Caution” advisory. Under this advisory, and per the CA State Water Resources Control Board, people may engage in all forms of recreation, including swimming, boating, and fishing. People are advised to stay away from any remaining visible algae, to not drink lake water, and to continue to keep pets out of the water. Have fun and be safe on the lake!
Lake users should always practice healthy water habits:
- Avoid algae and scum in the water and on shore.
- Keep an eye on children and pets.
- If you think algae is present, do not let pets and other animals go into or drink the water, or eat scum and algal accumulations on the shore.
- Don’t drink the water or use it for cooking.
- Wash yourself, your family, and your pets with clean water after water play.
- If you catch fish, throw away guts and clean fillets with tap water or bottled water before cooking.
