Snow Reminders

Adopt a Fire Hydrant

In the event of a fire emergency during the winter, could firefighters find the hydrant near your home? Or does it get buried under a snow pile?

The Fire Department is encouraging residents to "adopt a fire hydrant" near their home and keep snow shoveled away from it during the winter season. This will ensure hydrants are visible and will greatly speed the response time in case of an emergency. There is no need to notify the City or the Fire Department about a hydrant you have adopted, as this is an informal volunteer program. Your help is appreciated!

Winter Parking

If the snowfall is two or more inches before
8 p.m., the snow parking regulations go into
effect at 2 a.m. the next morning. At that time,
snow plowing will begin and any vehicles parked
on unplowed city streets will be tagged and/or
towed.

If an accumulation of two inches or more
occurs after 8 p.m., the snow parking ban will
go into effect the following morning at 2 a.m. (24 hours later).
