Residential Snowplowing Program

Residential Driveway Snowplowing Services Program

If it is operationally effective, private driveways may be plowed during public road plowing. Prior to any work taking place on private land, the applicant must contact the County Office and inform the Public Works Department of their request to have their driveway snowplowed. Please have ready to provide your legal land description, rural address and contact information. A Field Representative will contact you and will come out to do an on-site assessment of your driveway. If the driveway is deemed suitable for snow clearing with a grader, you must sign a contract and be provided with a permanent personalized snow plow sign.

Residents will be billed monthly for any snow plowing conducted. For further details concerning the Residential Driveway Snowplowing Program, please read the Snowplowing Brochure.

For all snow plowing issues, whether concerning County main roads or private driveways, please contact the County Public Works Department at 780-836-3348 or 1.888.525.3481
