Crack Sealing

Crack sealing is the most cost effective preventive maintenance available, and should be used promptly once cracks begin to appear.

It is much wiser to seal the crack and add longevity to the street verses being concerned with the appearance of the crack sealant.

Motorists do not generally notice these cracks while driving until they become indentations as the crack becomes larger and larger, eventually disrupting the base.

Snow & Ice Removal Guidelines

The street department will be responsible for maintaining the roads during inclement weather. It is under the discretion of the Street Department Supervisor and the City Administrator to act accordingly when snow or ice occur as to how they determine how the streets must be treated. Certain guidelines apply during snow removal and ice control.

A) In the event of a wet snow with temperatures of 25 to 32 degrees:
1) Normally, no ice control sand is applied in this type of snow, the sand penetrates the wet snow serving no purpose for skid control.
2) If temperatures begin to fall drastically with a wet snow or ice glazing after the snow begins, then ice control sand may be applied effectively for skid control.
3) Snow removal or plowing is not done until 5 to 6 inches have accumulated on the streets.

B) In the event of a cold dry snow that sticks to the pavement and is not appearing to melt with temperatures ranging from 0 to 25 degrees:
1) This type of snow is fairly easy to drive on, although, ice control sand can be applied effectively for skid control once the snow becomes hard packed and glazes.
2) This type of snow can also blow and drift, if this occurs plowing can be done once the drifts make traveling hazardous on the snow emergency route that goes through town.
The police will notify the street supervisor if streets get hazardous during the night for them to treat streets as it becomes necessary. Street crews are on call 24/7 during inclement weather conditions.
