We also urge you no to move your vehicle into the street until the snow emergency has been officially rescinded. Your patience and cooperation are an important part of our total efforts. Sidewalk plowing will not begin until after the snow has stopped falling and plowing has ceased. Your assistance is important in making sure snow is cleared from the sidewalk in front of your property. DPS crews are generally not responsible for snow on sidewalks.
Residents are responsible for snowplowing and snow removal on their own property.
During winter months, fire hydrants and catch basins must be kept free and clear of snow and ice. This insures the safety of your neighborhood in the event of an emergency. Keeping catch basins clear of snow and ice will reduce the possibility of street flooding during heavy rains or snow melting periods. Your assistance is important in making sure snow is cleared from hydrants and catch basins. Please shovel the hydrant and catch basin nearest you after each storm to insure your property s protection.
