Orange County Almanac
In Irvine, anybody who fires up a leaf blower on a Sunday is violating city law.
While the use of leaf blowers is allowed Monday through Saturday until 5 p.m., the city has established rigorous rules of operation.
All leaf blowers used in the city must first be tested and approved by city officials and must bear a city approval label. Anyone who wants to use an approved leaf blower must complete a city training session. The operator must take the course every two years.
And before use, operators must check for wind direction, freshly washed cars, children or pets at play, and open doors and windows. Leaf blower debris must be cleared away within six hours.
