City fights weed problems piling up amid frost and winds
In Odessa neighbors report rapid grass fire risks as weeds dry after first frost causing tumbleweeds and nuisance. Fire inspectors seek legal lot descriptions, with mowing funded by city or owner depending on vacancy, and fines rarely pursued. If homes block mowing, letters demand yard clearance within 10 days, with liens possible on taxes. Street crews mow vacant lots and debris removal may use federal funds if in designated low income zones.
