There’s a rat problem in Lake Hiawatha

PARSIPPANY — For the past several months many Lake Hiawatha residents have lamented to Parsippany Focus that a growing rodent problem is occurring in and around the business district along North Beverwyck Road in Lake Hiawatha.  The mayor’s office has been alerted to the infestation problem and any resident observing rats (or rat droppings) should immediately contact the mayor’s action center.

An ordinance that is currently being considered by the Town Council will limit the amount of household and business trash that may be deposited in township trash cans along North Beverwyck Road.  Penalties for violating the ordinance include fines of up to $2500 for first offenders and up to $10,000 in fines for every subsequent offense.  To read the entire ordinance, click here.

For years, receptacles have overflowed with trash, to the point where they fill up almost as soon as trash is collected by the township.
