| Snow Removal Policy |
HOAs within Mountain Shadows may be interested in the following:
Because of the recent funding reductions, city street snow-plowing policies have been changed. Neighborhood associations and home owner associations which so choose may contract privately for snow removal services. For more information, see http://www.springsgov.com/Page.aspx?NavID=2754
Application link: http://www.springsgov.com/units/streets/HOAPrivateSnowPlowingApplicationPacket.pdf
"The Street Division's major focus is to respond to Primary and Secondary areas as first response in a snow event and residential streets will begin to be plowed after 6 (six) inches of snow accumulation has occurred."
