Snow & Ice

Snow & Ice Division

Overview
Winter is a topic that the Department of Public Works focuses on year-round. Snow and ice operations are the responsibility of the Highways Division, with personnel support coming from all the Public Works Divisions.

The Town plows and treats 125 miles of roads and all Town parking lots.

Treating Road Surfaces


Salt is used on all road surfaces. The salt is mixed with liquid Ice B'gone (external link)  at the spinners.

Sidewalks


Snow and/or ice removal from sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner. The Town will send a sidewalk plow around on the major sidewalks to assist residents with this task. Once the Town machine has passed, the resident is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in a passable condition.

Sidewalk Plowing Map and List

 Sand is available at the DPW and business owners in the Town center are still responsible for clearing their sidewalks.
