"Winter is the season of hope and magic, filled with the wonder of snowy adventures and cozy fireside stories"                                                                                                     
​Please remember to always be on the lookout for kids as you are driving through the neighborhood - please come to a complete stop at all stop signs, as kids and families are out playing, going for walks, and riding their bikes. We appreciate your help in keeping our neighborhood safe.

In addition, as the weather turns cold and the potential of snow is always a possibility, please do not park on the street. We need to keep the roads clear for the salt trucks. 
​
As always, the Springmeadow Park is open, so we hope you are able to get out and enjoy this beautiful park. Just please be respectful of the equipment, courts, and benches. If you notice anything that is damaged or needs repairs, please let us know. 

  We hope you have a wonderful, warm, and safe winter!

             REMINDER:
Please DO NOT blow or rake your leaves into the ditches or front easement areas, as this        clogs culverts and creates                                                               drainage issues.
                                   
        We appreciate your understanding!!

Winter Storm Water Tips
  • Clear storm drains:
Regularly remove leaves and debris from storm drains to prevent clogs, especially before snowfall. 
  • Snow pile placement:
    Pile snow away from storm drains and water bodies to allow for proper water infiltration and avoid runoff flooding; consider designated snow storage areas. 
  • Minimize deicing chemicals:
    Use deicing materials sparingly and only where necessary, avoiding direct application near storm drains. 
  • Proper snow removal techniques:
    Shovel snow early and often to reduce the need for excessive salt or sand. 
  • Consider permeable surfaces:
    If possible, install permeable pavement or other surfaces that can absorb snowmelt and reduce runoff. 
  • Rain barrel management:
    Empty rain barrels regularly to prevent freezing and ensure they are ready for spring rain. 
  • Protect sensitive areas:
    Be cautious when plowing or shoveling snow near rain gardens, bioswales, and other green infrastructure features. 
  • Vehicle maintenance:
    Regularly check your vehicle for oil leaks and fix them promptly to prevent oil from contaminating runoff. 
  • Educate your community:
    Spread awareness about proper winter stormwater management practices to encourage responsible behavior. 
Key points to remember:
  • Prevent snow and debris from clogging storm drains  
  • Minimize the use of deicing chemicals  
  • Pile snow away from storm drains and water bodies  
  • Maintain your vehicle to prevent oil leaks
