Snow Hauling In the early morning hours on the day following our plowing operation, the snow is loaded and hauled from the dowtown area and several locations where there is not snow storage because the sidewalk is immediately behind the curb. This operation requires the motor grader to windrow the snow, the loader mounted snow blower to load it and four or more trucks to haul it away. Snow hauling will be scheduled by the street superintendent or his designee as soon as practical following the plowing operation. Scheduling may be affected by weather, labor and or equipment availability. Driveways One of the most irritating problems for residents is the snow deposited in driveways during plowing operations. The snow windrows are pushed by the plow blade to the right side of the street and also into driveways. The driver's make every attempt to minimize the amount of snow deposited in driveways, but the amount can still be significant. Based on staff equipment, and the costs associated, City personnel do not provide driveway cleaning. Possible exceptions are at the discretion of the Supervisor for emergency situations. Sod Damage Sod damaged by City plowing equipment wi]] be repaired using one of two procedures the following spring: City Street Department will repair the damage using black dirt and seed. The property owner may elect to do the repair work using commercial sod. The City will reimburse the property owner for the sod purchased, not the labor. Said reimbursement must be approved by the City prior to the property owner doing any corrective work or purchasing any sod. Lawn Sprinkler Damage The City will not be responsible for damage to any underground lawn sprinklers that are located on boulevards within the street right-of-way. It shall be the responsibility of the homeowner to protect such systems from damage or to relocate sprinkler heads within the homeowner's property lines. D
