4 rules for unincorporated Western Connecticut, Connecticut.
Verified from official government sources
Overgrown grass and weeds are enforced through each town's blight or property-maintenance ordinance. Several Western Connecticut towns operate blight-prevention boards that can order abatement and bill the property.
Owners maintain trees on their own land; street and public-right-of-way trees fall under each town's tree warden, whose approval is required to prune or remove them (CGS §23-59).
A private owner may remove trees on their own land, but removal of street or public-right-of-way trees requires the town tree warden's permission and public notice (CGS §23-59, §23-65).
Connecticut has no statewide outdoor-watering ban; irrigation limits are set by the local water utility (e.g. Aquarion) during drought. Region residents follow conservation orders from their provider.
