Examples of Stagnant/Foul Water with Corrections

Protect you, your property, and your neighborhood by maintaining your swimming pool and hot tub water in a clear, sanitary condition. Remove standing water in your yard and neighborhood where mosquitoes can breed. This includes flower pots, clogged rain gutters, bird baths, or any vessel that can hold standing water. Mosquitoes may develop in any water stagnant for more than three or four days.

Read the Ordinance

Individuals who fail to maintain a clean property can pay up to a $2000 fine in municipal court per citation. Citations can be issued daily. In certain situations, the city may abate the nuisance and bill the property owner for the cleanup of the property.

Info from Arlington’s Stormwater Management Division

It is a violation of city ordinance to discharge any swimming pool or spa chemicals into the storm drain system. Do not harm your neighbors property, city property or the local water quality.
