City Code Update for Snowblowing

The Draper City Council voted a couple of weeks ago to make snowblowing into the street unlawful.

From the Draper City website, under Municipal Code, Section 7-13-030-Real Property to be Kept Clean and Secured. www.draper.ut.us

Here's the code:

Section 7-13-030 Real Property to be Kept Clean and Secured. It is unlawful for any
person, corporation, partnership or other legal entity owning or occupying real property in the City:

(a) to fail to maintain the height of weeds, as provided in Section 7-13-040 of this
