Fireworks prohibited in West Branch

With the passage and signing of Senate File 489 by the State of Iowa, fireworks have become popular topic over the last few weeks.

With Memorial Day and Independence Day soon approaching, the city wanted to remind its residents of the current ordinance in place within our community.

The City’s ordinances still regulate use of fireworks within the city limits and state:

41.11 FIREWORKS. Fireworks are not permitted unless written application is received and approved by the Council.

The city council is set to discuss the new law and how the code of ordinances might reflect it’s passage at the upcoming June 5th city council meeting.
