Snow and Ice Control

For snow and ice control, we apply a road salt and sand mixture. The sand provides traction on the snow and ice while the road salt works to melt it away. In order for the salt to melt the snow and ice, temperatures must be at least 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything less and the salt will not work. During a snow storm, city crews will normally begin treating the roads around 6:00 am on the morning of or the morning after the storm. The major streets of Main, Mason, Dryden, Johnson, Phillips, First, Third, North Fourth, South Fifth and South Ninth streets will be treated and plowed first. Other streets will be done as quickly as possible depending on the conditions. Please avoid parking vehicles on streets when snow is forecasted.
