The city hall has given a reminder to Apple Valley residents to keep their shoveled snow and don't dump it on the streets. Officials are cracking down on those who flout the rules and shove snow onto public ways, which they insist can damage city infrastructure. Homeowners, renters, and all those who manage or own commercial properties have got to handle their snow without pushing it into the streets or sidewalks.
"All snow and ice cleared from areas on private property must remain entirely on private property," echoes the city guideline, messy roads aren't the only concern, the pushed-across snow piles can even tear up the streets, creating more headaches for city maintenance. Property owners who contract out their snow shoveling work better make sure to tell their hired hands about these rules, the city won't be cutting slack for contractors clueless about the local ordinances, and this can lead to their operations causing more harm than good.
City officials are urging anyone with questions about the snow removal policies or needing to report an issue to get in touch with Apple Valley Code Enforcement, they are reachable by phone at 952.953.2570, or gang up on the snow by email at [email protected], as per the official notice.
