It’s been a rainy summer season which has created a problem of tall grass and weeds within the Knox city limits.
Director of Building, Planning and Code Enforcement Kenny Pfost told the Knox Board of Public Works this week that he’s sent out 14 enforcement infractions due to tall grass and weeds. He said a lot of property owners have complied but it’s been an issue this summer.
Street Superintendent Jeff Borg said his department has been out doing roadside mowing more frequently this year. He said they’ve been out twice as much as last year with all of the rain. They have also tackled weed growth as well.
The code that pertains to removal of tall grass and rank vegetation can be found online at cityofknox.net.
