Snow and Ice Control FAQ’s<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The City of Fond du Lac has approximately 170 miles of streets, city-maintained public alleys, miles of public walkways, and bridges to maintain. During a full snow plow operation, the City is divided into several snow plow routes and utilizing over 75 pieces of snow removal equipment<\/li>\n
  • Crews use a salt brine to pre-treat primary roads prior to a snow event. The liquid chemicals will leave the roadways with white or brown lines as residue. The combination of these chemicals makes for a safer, more environmentally friendly and cost effective road treatment compared to using pure rock salt.<\/li>\n
  • In the event snow is predicted, if possible please remove your vehicles from the street <\/strong>so that the City\u2019s snow crews can clear the roadways. This action will better serve the residents because:\n
      \n
    • Plows will be able to clear streets during the plow operation and not have to return to re-plow.<\/li>\n
    • Plows will leave a windrow of snow around parked cars.\u00a0 Snow windrows may be too high to allow vehicles to easily move out of on-street parking locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Please allow space between your vehicle and City Vehicles. \u00a0State Law requires a following distance of no less than 200 feet. In snow plow vehicles, there are many blind spots. Please reduce your speeds to aid in roadway safety.<\/li>\n
    • Depositing of snow\/ice into the City right-of-way including into the street is strictly prohibited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Mailbox Damage – Plowing Operations<\/h3>\n

      City crews may accidentally damage a mailbox when they are plowing. If your mailbox is damaged, please call our office to report the damage and your claim will be investigated. If the City\u2019s snow plow was at fault and your mailbox was compliant with the postal regulations, City crews will repair or replace your mailbox and\/or post, with a standard wooden post and mailbox according to postal regulations. Please note that dependent upon the amount\/type of damage, permanent repair may be delayed until the ground thaws in the spring but temporary repairs will be made during winter months.<\/p>\n

      IF<\/strong> the damage to the mailbox was caused by the volume or weight of the snow, the City will not repair the mailbox.<\/p>\n
