The Common Council may make reasonable and general rules for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter and for the prevention of the creation of health nuisances and the protection of the public health and welfare and may, where appropriate, require the issuance of licenses and permits. All such regulations shall have the same effect as ordinances, and any person violating any of such regulations and any lawful order of the Council shall be subject to the general penalty provided for in §
1-4 of this Code.
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any public
street or on any public ground or on any private property not his
own any refuse, garbage, litter, waste material or liquid or any other
objectionable material or liquid. When any such material is placed
on the person's own private property, it shall be properly enclosed
and covered so as to prevent the same from becoming a public nuisance.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
store any potentially polluting substances unless such substances
are stored in such manner as to securely prevent them from escaping
onto the ground surface and/or into any street, sewer, ditch or drainageway,
lake or stream within the jurisdiction of the City of Glenwood City.
