What is the best way to clean snow from the sidewalks? Remove snow along the sidewalk adjacent to your property. Do not push. snow from the sidewalk into the street. Clear the snow from around the fire hydrant ift there is one ini front of your property. You should. move the snow to your front yard, behind the stoop. line, or the grass strip between the curb and sidewalk ifone exists. Where possible try to clear a path at least three feet wide along the sidewalk. Corner property own- We understand it can bet frustrating when our plows push snow back over: an area you already shoveled however, please Why do snow plows leave a ridge at the end of my driveway? Whoi is responsible for clearing the ridge? Snow ridges are an unavoidable after-effect of plowing streets, particularly. in larger or heavier snow storms. Public Works must plow to create a passable driving lane. While this clears a path for traffic, itmay leave a snow ridge. We appreciate this concern. However, residents are responsible. for clearing any ridge in front oft their driveway. We suggest driveways be cleared after street. snow clearing operations are conducted, this means when the full road is free of snow back to the curb. Cul-De-Sacs are extremely difficult to plow and time consuming. THANK YOU to residents who live on Cul-De-Sacs for Park cars in driveways: Parking cars in the driveway will allow snow plows to clear the snow more quickly, get streets responsibility of the property owner.

PREVENTING FROZENAND BURSTING WATER PIPES  Indoor pipes can freeze, depending on such variables as outside temperature, inside temperature, insulation and placement in the building. Pipes in attics, above ceilings, in crawl spaces and basements, and near exterior walls are highly vulnerable to freezing, especially where there is poorinsulation, wall cracks or other openings that allow entry of cold outside air. Monitor important risk control equipment, such as water-based fire protection systems (automatic sprinkler systems, fire pumps, hoses and hydrants). Whether or not piping in these systems actually bursts, any freezing of water can block water flow, preventing proper operation in case of fire. These systems must remain heated and ice-free to minimize losses from fire and water damage. Depending on the hazard, a wet pipe sprinkler system could be converted to a dry system.  RISK CONTROL BEST PRACTICES bursting, we recommend that you:  To prevent the formation ofi ice in pipes due to freezing temperatures and to prevent the pipes from  Always place pipingi in heated areas of a building.  Properly insulate attics, exterior walls and other areas lacking adequate heating. Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors and other conditions that allow heat loss. Keep exterior doors closed, even if not in the immediate vicinity of piping.  Maintain heat in buildings at all times. No area with piping should be allowed to fall below 50 F(10'C). (This requires regular maintenance, inspection and servicing of existing heating equipment, and safe emergency measures during a prolonged power failure.) Shut off the water lines and drain all pipes if the building is to bel left unattended for an extended period. (The exceptions are sprinkler systems unless all combustible materials are  removed and the building is noncombustible or fire-resistive.)  Provide insulation around a pipe sufficient to reduce heat loss, or provide heat tracing, if the pipe might be exposed to freezing temperatures.  LGITD  WWW.IGIY.ORG    PREVENTING FROZEN AND BURSTING WATER PIPES  Install low temperature alarms (with remote monitoring) in cold-prone areas. Adequately maintain and prepare dry-pipe sprinkler systems for cold weather  (drain low points, etc.).  Properly service and winterize private yard hydrants.  Clear snow and ice from private yard hydrants, outside hose connections and fire protection system valves to help prevent freezing of these systems.  IMPORTANT  Identify the main water shut-off valve(s) for the building and ensure that key personnel know where they are in case of a pipe break. Never attempt to thaw a frozen pipe with an open flame.  VACANT, IDLE AND UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS  AS special mention should be made of buildings considered vacant, idle or unoccupied. All oft the above issues and recommended best practices apply to these types of buildings. Int fact, because they are typically rarely used and less frequently visited, an extra effort is required to ensure that all measures and precautions are taken. During severe weather, daily visits (if possible) should be  made.  Ifadequate heat cannot or will not be maintained, the main domestic water supply valve should be shut off and all water from piping should be completely drained by a qualified plumber. Sprinkler systems and other water-based fire protection systems are a special case. Every effort should be  made to keep these systems in service.
