Last night at the Watertown Common Council meeting, an amendment was made to the city’s Loud and Unnecessary Noise ordinance. Previously, the ordinance stated that no person shall operate or play any radio, television, phonograph, drum, musical instrument or similar noise-making device between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in such a manner as to create a noise disturbance of such volume or nature as to annoy or disturb a reasonable person of normal sensitivities. Now, those hours have been taken out of the ordinance to prohibit any unnecessary, obnoxiously loud noises during any time of the day. Watertown Police Chief Robert Kaminski noted that the police department could not take action toward prohibiting bothersome noise occurring during the day, but now they can since the ordinance has been amended.
