Goals & Resources:
The goal established for Lake Zurich Public Works Department is to have all streets cleared and pavement in a safe condition within eight hours after the snow event has substantially subsided. To accomplish this goal, all resources within the divisions of the Public Works Department and contractor personnel will be utilized. The department uses fifteen trucks available for snow fighting operations. This amounts to approximately fifteen lane miles per vehicle.
Their equipment alone will not produce “snow and ice free” streets; the use of deicers is required. The most common de-icing is rock salt, (sodium chloride). This salt is very effective and economical in helping to remove snow and ice.
Ordinance No. 20001-07-109
The Village has adopted an Ordinance – Ordinance No. 2001-07-109, which prohibits parking on Village streets during times of two or more inches of snowfall. The parking of unattended vehicles on public streets during significant snowstorms or other severe weather is a serious nuisance that inhibits the Village’s ability to maintain the streets in a passable and safe manner.
