Public Works Responsibility

• Salt City streets and plow snow.
• Maintain safe travel for motor vehicles.
• Conduct a first pass to open streets
• Additional passes to remove snow to the curb will cause snow accumulation on sidewalks and driveways

NOTE: DPW has snow routes for trucks to follow. If you have a health emergency, call 911 and Police, Fire and DPW will coordinate response.

 Residents Responsibility

• Park cars off-street when snow is forecasted to help DPW with snow removal.
• Shovel sidewalks and driveways five (5) hours after the storm ends.
• DO NOT shovel/blow snow into City streets. It is against the law.
• DO NOT place refuse and recycling carts curbside during heavy snow storms. Wait until the following week.
• Clear an area for your refuse and recycling carts. Carts placed on snow piles or behind snow banks create unsafe conditions for Sanitation employees.

NOTE: If you choose to shovel during the storm, remember that trucks will plow snow onto your shoveled areas during additional passes.

Parking Ban Information

• A snow parking ban means that all residents must find off-street parking to allow Public Works to clear snow and make your streets safe.
• You must move your vehicle. Speak with neighbors or use a City-approved parking location. For off street parking information.
• Parking bans have a specific start and stop time that will be publicized on television, radio, and the DPW web page.
• Cars parked on-street will be towed during parking bans.
