At the March 18th Village Board meeting, the Board voted to extend the ban on gas-powered leaf blowers to match the permitted uses of our neighboring communities. The previous ban prohibited the use of gas-powered leaf blowers from May 15th-September 30th and permitted their use from October 1st - May 14th. The updated code prohibits gas-powered leaf blowers at all times from December 1st - March 31st, and May 1st - September 30th. Concisely put, gas-powered leaf blowers are now permitted only during the months of April, October, and November during the hours of 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. They are banned at all times on Sundays and holidays.
