Snow Removal Policy

Please read our community’s Snow Removal Policy. It is a great resource to better understand the expectations for snow removal operations, including timelines, priorities, and responsibilities.

By staying informed, you’ll know exactly what to expect during winter weather events and how we work together to keep our community safe and accessible.

REMINDER

Winter Recreation Safety

We all love having a good time sledding and enjoying the snow with friends. However, it’s important to remember that when choosing a hill for sledding, we should avoid areas near the lakes. The ice on our lakes can be unpredictable, and it’s difficult to know how thick or safe it is.

In previous years, there have been reports of children walking or sledding onto the ice, which is extremely dangerous. Falling through the ice can lead to serious injury, including drowning or hypothermia, due to exposure to freezing water.

Please remember that ice skating is not permitted on our lakes, and signage is posted around the lakes indicating this rule. See below for reference.

Parents, please take a moment to remind your children about the importance of winter safety. By being cautious, we can all continue to enjoy the snow while staying safe and sound.
