1. Can someone come clear the snow from the hydrant near my house? It is buried and there is too much snow for me to remove by myself.

The City does not have the resources to ensure that all fire hydrants in the City will be dug out. Residents are encouraged to adopt a hydrant to dig out in the winter, even if the hydrant is not necessarily right next to their house.

2. Isn’t it against the law for someone to blow their snow into my yard?

The placement of snow on private property from another private property is a civil matter. We encourage you to talk with your neighbor about the issue as they may not be aware that they are doing it.

3. Can I be put on a list for disabled people for the City to come to clear the end of my driveway?

4. I am running out of room for snow storage. Can I push my snow across the street?

State Statute 169.42 and City Code Section 24-24 prohibit snow from being pushed onto or across the street. It is important to note the City Code also holds the property owner responsible for allowing snow to be pushed from their property across a street.
