• Fire Hydrants - If a fire hydrant near your property is buried by drifts or snow banks please dig it out.

• Windrows - We understand your frustration when you clear your driveway and then a snowplow comes by and leaves a pile of snow - a windrow. Unfortunately it is impossible to clear snow from the roads without leaving one.

• Parking - Parked cars are a snowplow operator's biggest obstacle. If your street has not been plowed please do not park on it. Parking is prohibited between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. During the winter months By-Law Enforcement will be actively enforcing this in order to eliminate any conflict with the snowplows. Failure to abide to this policy may result in a fine or your vehicle being towed.

• Dumping Snow on Roads - No person shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 181.R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 181

• Patience - When plowing operations begin the operators are following routes that have been designed to minimize duplication and maximize efficiency. The length of time to complete a route varies.
