FARMINGTON -- Farmington residents will have an additional day to shoot fireworks this year. The Farmington City Council amended its fireworks ordinance last week to take into account when the July 4 holiday falls during the middle of the week.
The ordinance regarding the discharge of fireworks in the city now provides the following opportunities for celebrating July 4:
• Fireworks may be discharged on July 3 and July 5 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Fireworks may be discharged on July 4 from 10 a.m. to midnight.
• When the July 4th holiday falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, fireworks may be discharged from 10 a.m. to midnight on the Saturday before July 4.
• When July 4 falls on a Thursday and the Farmington fireworks display is held on the Saturday following the holiday, then fireworks may be discharged on that Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
