Calling For "Water"

Santa Barbara City Municipal Code requires homeowners to make sure that vegetation on their property does not encroach onto adjacent roadways. This effort includes keeping evacuation routes clear of flammable vegetation and thinning vegetation along the roadways.

It is very important to maintain the work that has been completed by our road clearance crews. On average we are able to treat each roadway on a 2-3 year rotation. Keeping up our roadways is not only important for your safety and the safety of the community it is the law.

Those property owners who have a fire hydrant on their property are required to maintain 3' of clearance in all directions. Please insure that your landscaping vegetation does not hide, conceal or cover any hydrant.
