Moses Lake – There is a lot of construction in the pool in the pool and sometimes it can be a little chaotic. A construction site creates a much considerable amount of garbage, and when the wind absorbs, it sometimes ends in the yards of the neighbors. There is a way to deal with it, said the city of the building of City of Moses Lake Mumma.

“(People) could simply pass the construction site and speak to the general (contractor) or the manager and (say) Hey, look, I have a problem with a garbage that blows my property” or whatever the problem, “said Mumma.” I am sure that they are much faster when it comes to treating it if it is a citizen from the community that is complaining. ”

Moses Lake Municipal Code 8.08.105 covers construction waste, but it is not very detailed: “Construction and waste waste can be removed from the person or his agent who produces such waste or remove them from the collector of the garbage collector.” The waste collector is the company, which in this case contracts with the city with the collection of garbage.

“Ultimately, responsibility for the cleanliness of the construction site lies the general contractor,” said Mumma. “Usually their subcontractors do different work on the construction site and let the garbage of shingle wrappers or insulation or whatever it may be.

That is almost always enough to take care of the problem, said Mumma. If this is not the case, the code enforcement is committed. Code Enforcement is part of the city's department for the city development, he explained.

“The code implementation would be out there to look for different things,” he said. “You would look for the garbage that blows everywhere to ensure that everything was okay with the plan for the prevention of rainwater pollution, where nothing comes into the storm outflows of the city and contaminates the water. And if the code enforcement runs out, you can do something to warn you to write you up in a civilian request, and if you do not divide with the infraction.

The general contractor will almost always react to a neighbor from a developer, said Mumma.

If a resident comes up with a problem in which the general contractor does not take care of the chaos, he can contact the city's code enforcement department by calling the city under number 509-764-3753 and to speak to a code enforcement officer.

If a city inspector accidentally realizes that the garbage is canceled by the website, he can also address it with the contractor and he is almost always treated immediately, he said.

“When we are on site and tell them that they should clean it up, they will just clean it up … they are pretty about it,” he said.
