- Primary and Collector Roads – plowed during snowfall, treated only if needed during snowfall.
- Residential Roads – plowed after snowfall ends.
Secondary Roads – plowed first
Cul-de-sacs and Dead Ends – plowed last - Park off the road if at all possible, on narrow roads - park on the even side, never park on a snow emergency route.
- Clear driveways, hydrants, mailboxes and sidewalks after plowing is completed.
- Remove hoses from outside spigots and drain interior pipes leading to the spigots.
- Be very careful with space heaters.
- Be prepared for power outages (does your sump pump have a battery backup?).
- Be prepared for water main breaks (WSSC reports 819 breaks in January alone).
- Look out for vulnerable neighbors.
