The City of Clear Lake has declared its fall open burning period now open. The period will continue through Nov. 25.
Open burning is allowed from noon to dusk, with no burning permitted on Mondays or Fridays. All fires must be contained on private property and no burning is allowed on streets or alleys. The fire must also be further than 50-feet from any structure.
The city’s ordinance allows for burning of yard waste accumulated on-site only and does not allow for the use of flammable liquids, paper, or trash to be burned.
Failure to comply with these regulations is a simple misdemeanor and violators will be subject to a citation.
