The City of Sierra Vista Public Works Department is conducting a controlled burn at the Environmental Operations Park this morning. Expect to see smoke on the east side of town until about noon.
This burn is part of annual maintenance for the City’s wastewater treatment facility. Burns reduce mosquitoes, clear dying vegetation to promote new growth, and aerate soil for the coming spring. An additional burn may be conducted next week if needed, as weather conditions allow.
The Environmental Operations Park is located at 6801 Highway 90 and the burns sometimes produce smoke on the east side of Sierra Vista that can be seen from several miles away.
