Did you know noxious weeds are illegal per NRS?    

Per NRS 555.150  -  Control of noxious weeds by owner or occupant of land. Every railroad, canal, ditch or water company, and every person owning, controlling or occupying lands in this State, and every county, incorporated city or district having the supervision and control over streets, alleys, lanes, rights-of-way, or other lands, shall control all weeds declared and designated as noxious as provided in NRS 555.130 in any manner specified by and whenever required by the State Quarantine Officer.

Each Spring and Fall, SCA sprays for weeds on the sides of the roads and various amenities to try and prevent their growth and spread around the community. You may see the weed spraying truck around your area which dispenses a blue color dye. For those of you who have requested this year to not spray near your bees or homes, we have you on the list. If you would like to be added to this list please fill out the form HERE.
