STREAMS INSPECTIONS – are carried out twice yearly at the same time as the hedges inspections. Streams are required to be clear of all debris, weed growth etc. to ensure that they flow in an unobstructed manner. It is vital that riverains complete their inspections and any necessary work at the proper time, i.e.
- during the first fifteen days of June
- during the last fifteen days of September
The Douzaine’s Streams Committee will inspect the watercourses thereafter and defaulters will be reminded of their obligations under the Law. A further period will be given for work to be undertaken before the area is re-inspected. Should the work still not have been completed, those riverains will, of necessity, be reported to the Public Services Department for further action to be taken. We trust this will not be necessary and hope that we can rely on property owners/tenants co-operation in this respect.
DON’T FORGET – OVERGROWN AND DIRTY STREAMS ARE NOT ONLY UNSIGHTLY,
BUT CAN RESULT IN FLOODING
