Removal of Dog Feces \ Duty of Owners
Village Ordinance requires that owners of dogs, other than when on their own property, must always carry equipment sufficient to clean up dog feces. It is a violation of Village Ordinance to allow your dog to defecate on any property, public or private (except your own property), unless you immediately remove, and properly dispose of the waste.
