Typical ordinances ban water craft will be banned from landing or launching from any beach, forcing operators to stay 150 feet from the shore in residential areas, and prohibit hours of operation. Most towns have ordinances regarding the use of leaf blowers, which have become a major noise problem. Contact your town hall and ask for a copy of the ordinance and provide a copy to your neighbor or his contractor. Most town ordinances only permit the use of leaf blowers from April 1 and May 30 and between October 1 and November 30. Towns also limit the hours that the blowers can be used, typically banning their use before 8 am on weekdays and 9 a.m. on weekends.
Some towns only regulate gas powered blowers, others include electric driven blowers.
