SNOW REMOVAL IN DUBLIN
The City of Dublin is dedicated to your safety through our Ohio weather. The City has a curb-to-curb snow removal policy to achieve this safety and efficiency during the winter. All public streets within Dublin receive snow removal service according to the following
priorities: Priority 1
Major arteries are plowed first. These streets will continue to receive treatment as long as weather conditions continue. Blowing snow and freezing roads once snow has thawed can require continued
treatment. Priority 2
Main roads through subdivisions, streets connecting two or more priority 1 streets. These streets will be plowed and salted once priority 1 streets have received treatment. Priority 3 Residential streets, courts, cul-de-sacs and alleys will be serviced once priority 1 and priority 2 streets are cleared. Not treated by City of Dublin Private residential and commercial streets as well as streets in other jurisdictions. How you can help: • Do not shovel snow or park cars in City streets. • Do not shovel or plow snow into driveway aprons. • Do not shovel or plow snow around fire hydrants or mailboxes.
• Keep distance from the snow plows. • Keep children away from snow plows. • Do not attempt to pass a snow plow.
ICE DAM SAFETY
Notice: The connection relocation cost is the responsibility of the property owner. This relocation work needs to be coordinated with City of Dublin Engineering Staff, as this work involves a permitting process. Sat service will be provided during the first winter season of notification. After that, the resident must take the necessary steps outlined above to remedy the condition created by their sump pump drain before the next winter season. For more information, residents may reach Street & Utilities Staff 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays by calling 614.410.4750 or visit our website at DublinOhioUSA.gov/snowgo .
Residents are required to keep their sidewalks, curbs and gutters free of snow, ice, debris and obstructions. Depositing snow or ice on any public sidewalk, street, bike path, road or highway is not allowed. In freezing weather, basement sump pumps that outlet to the curb can create ice dams near mailboxes, driveways, etc., which can be a safety concern for many residents. Property owners are responsible for their own sump pump maintenance. The section of the Dublin City Code that covers this responsibility is Building Code Section 150.040. Grading and Draining Building Lots (G) Foundation sump pump drains are to be connected to an appropriate drainage outlet (such as the street, storm sewer or other outlet) to the satisfaction of the Municipal Engineer. How you can prevent ice dams: • Break up the ice in the curb line with shovels and salt. • Disconnect the sump pump cap at the exterior wall of the house, allowing the water to discharge into your lawn temporarily. • Relocate the connection from the curb line to the curb and gutter inlets, catch basins, manholes, rivers, ditches, streams, channels, detention ponds, retention ponds, etc. • Request City of Dublin Street & Utilities Staff spread salt in the curb area.
