SNOW REMOVAL  

The City of Walled Lake's Department of Public Services provides snow and ice removal services to maintain safe conditions for motorists as well as for pedestrians on City-owned property. Walled Lake's DPW crew maintain all public roads in the city, except for those maintained by the Road Commission for Oakland County. 

There are several ways in which you can help make this winter's snow and ice removal operations much smoother:

• Interacting with City snow and ice control equipment - Always stay a safe distance of at least 50 feet behind DPW trucks.
• Sidewalk clearing - it is your responsibility to clear the sidewalk abutting your property per City ordinance.
• Mailbox clearing - it is also your responsibility to clear around your mailbox, otherwise the U.S. Postal Service may not be able to deliver your mail.
• Driveway clearing - When your street gets plowed, snow from the plow's blade gets deposited along the edge of the street - including at the entrance to your driveway. Please be aware that the City does not plow drive approaches. Also, please do not move snow back into the roadway as it creates an added hazard for vehicles.
• Potholes - occasionally during the winter, potholes will develop in the pavement - especially when there are multiple freeze/thaw cycles. Please report potholes to DPW, and they will be filled as soon as practical.
• Items in the right-of-way - occasionally, items placed in the public right-of-way get damaged by snow removal operations. Please remove items such as portable basketball hoops, lawn ornaments, etc. so they do not become damaged. The City is NOT responsible for damage to items left in a street's right-of-way.
• Children - snow banks and snow plows are kid magnets. Please make sure your children do not play on a street's snow banks, and that they stay a safe distance away from plows working on your street.

Snow season is here, and our Department of Public Works is hard at work keeping local streets clear and safe. To help our plow crews avoid accidental damage to lawns or landscaping, residents are encouraged to place snow sticks along the edge of their yards. Your cooperation and support during the winter months are greatly appreciated and any damage that may occur will be repaired in the spring.
