It shall be unlawful for any person to permit any drainage system, canal, ditch, conduit, or other watercourse of any kind or nature, natural or artificial, to become so obstructed as to cause the water to back up, overflow, and cause damage, or to become unsanitary. Maintenance of any watercourse in such condition shall constitute a public nuisance and the same shall be subject to abatement as prescribed in this chapter. (Ord. 16-06, 4-12-2016)
