New Britain Borough Council recently voted to advertise a proposed noise ordinance. The council is looking to limit disruptive sounds caused by motorized or power equipment, music, repetitive and sustained sounds from business activities, gas-powered vehicles, incessant barking from dogs, and other sounds from domesticated animals. During the discussion, borough officials acknowledged that enforcement might be a challenge, talked about exempt noises, and set violation penalties and the time frame. The proposed noise ordinance is slated to be heard at the Wednesday, Oct. 8, council meeting at 7 p.m. in Burkart Hall, 56 Keeley Ave. Check the New Britain Borough Council agenda page for the most up-to-date information.
