Mount Pulaski Police Chief West reminds everyone
Observe city noise ordinance
Leave the fireworks to the professionals

 

[July 02, 2022] 

July 4th is just around the corner. While we celebrate the independence of our great country, spend time with family and friends and watch the fireworks, I wanted to remind everyone of a couple things. There are many residents that for a variety of reasons, can not tolerate fireworks and the noise they produce. Many of our four legged friends do not tolerate this type of noise very well either.

Also, the City of Mt. Pulaski does have a noise ordinance (6-2-11) that makes it unlawful to make or cause any noise or sounds of such volume or nature as to cause annoyance to the residents of the city or to disturb the peace by making any unnecessary noise.

This section carries a fine of not less than $150.00 and not more than $750.00.

To make this 4h of July safe and enjoyable for everyone, I am asking that we leave the fireworks to the professionals. Have a great 4th and God Bless America.
