Air Quality
The City is dedicated to maintaining good air quality. The quality of air that we breathe is affected by the temperature, exhaust from our vehicles, the use of gas-powered lawn equipment, and many other factors. Learn about the color code guide, the effects of poor air quality, and how to recognize who is at risk.
