NOISE!

A law goes into effect on July 1st that will limit the noise at construction sites -- but they will still be construction sites. Click here for the ordinance itself.

The law includes:

• posting a "noise mitigation plan" at the construction site
  
• using whatever muffling equipment comes with construction equipment - -and keeping all the equipment in good repair
  
• keeping portable engine doors closed and using muffling cloth on other equipment
• preventing idling machinery
• using quieter back-up alarms

Construction will still be permitted from 7 AM to 6 PM on weekdays -- with special permission needed for other times and days.
