Vernon residents may notice work-related noise a little earlier in the morning than normal during this heat wave.

In response to the hot weather, City of Vernon operations teams and city contractors will be making temporary adjustments to some of the outside work hours.

“This adjustment is required to maintain services and protect employee health,” a city news release stated.

Starting Wednesday, July 10, residents and visitors may hear work activity taking place prior to the usual 7:00 a.m. start, such as grass cutting in local parks, road repairs, and utility works.

“This adjustment to hours is temporary and the city will make efforts to minimize the impact to the public during the adjustment,” the release said.
