We live adjacent to a natural creek, is the City responsible for creek maintenance, including removal of fallen trees that can block the flow of water?
The City is not responsible for the maintenance of natural creeks. Each property owner is responsible for the maintenance of the creek, including pruning and care of trees and the removal of fallen trees. For more information about the “do’s” and don’ts” of tree removal consult the City’s Tree Ordinance.
