University City Reminds Residents Fireworks Are Prohibited Within City Limits.

With Independence Day coming on July 4, you might see fireworks stands popping up around the area, but the City of University City wants to remind residents that it is illegal to sell or shoot off fireworks within City limits.

Individuals caught discharging fireworks within the University City limits are subject to prosecution under our municipal ordinance. Professional displays of fireworks are family friendly events.

For fireworks complaints, please contact University City Police at (314) 725-2211. For questions about the fireworks ordinance please call the above number and ask for an on-duty supervisor. 

Respectfully,

Chief Larry Hampton
