Snow Removal

The department is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a snowfall begins, crews start salting and snow removal immediately on major streets and school areas, followed as soon as possible by residential streets. City ordinance Section 74-188 states: “No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited snow, ice or slush on any roadway or alley.” When plowing the streets the DPW cannot avoid snow being pushed into driveway approaches. When clearing your driveway and approach please place the snow on either side of the driveway or approach.
