Snow Removal Operations in the Village 

The Public Works Department plows and salts approximately thirty miles of Village streets.  All three trucks are routinely sent out to salt and plow. Each truck has a specific area of the Village to cover.  The Public Works Crew needs approximately five hours to plow the entire Village under normal plowing conditions. The first priority of salting is applying salt to hills, turns, and intersections as conditions warrant.  Once the snow has stopped falling and during the last plow through the area, salt is spread where needed in addition to hills, turns, and intersections.  During icing or freezing rain conditions, the salting of Village streets becomes a priority. If you would like to report a Village street that needs extra attention, please call the Public Works Department at 923-7170 or 671-3721. 

To expedite plowing throughout the Village please keep in mind it is against Village Ordinance to deposit snow removed from driveways or private roads onto Village streets.  The Village trucks plow snow to the side of the road and sometimes it ends up across a driveway.  It is the property owner’s responsibility to remove any snow that ends up in a driveway during snow removal operations.  Please do not deposit snow onto the paved area of the street.
