Once through streets have been plowed, the large truck will move to the secondary streets. The routes address both timeliness and conservation of fuel and salt. The small trucks typically run through the route close to the large truck. Dead end streets should each take about 10 minutes to complete. This is barring any equipment failures or break downs.
Equipment is well maintained and operated, however, break downs do occur.
It should take each truck approximately four to five hours to pass through the route once, if snowfall is light and stops shortly after plowing begins. During a heavy, sustained storm, the truck and driver will make several passes to keep roads passable. The Village does not plow many larger roads which fall under other jurisdictions. Washington Street, O'Plaine, Hunt Club, and most of Dilleys Road are plowed by the Lake County Division of Transportation. Snow is never deliberately placed in driveways.
