As you may have heard in the past couple weeks, there is a rising concern about rats, particularly in the alleys, in certain areas of the Forge. The RFC has been working with the County to address this issue and as a result, the County Code Enforcement Office will be conducting a sweep of our alleys and streets looking out for various violations that could potentially be linked to this problem. The County WILL be aggressively issuing citations to those neighbors they feel are not complying with their responsibilities to keep our community free of rats.
Some of the things they'll be looking for:
- All trashcans should have lids on them
- All yards should be free of pet feces
- All yards should be free of trash, debris, food scraps, pet food, etc
- All alleys should be free of trash and debris as well
Even if you are NOT in one of the areas where rats have been spotted, please make sure you are in compliance as we don't want to give these pests another home once they are driven away from their current location.
