Winter Weather Facts |
Typically there are nearly 20,000 vehicle accidents in Wisconsin during winter months when roads are covered with ice, snow, or slush.
Plan your travels and check the latest weather reports to avoid storms. It is also important to check and winterize your vehicles. Keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines.
Carry a winter storm survival kit in your vehicle that includes:
* Blankets or sleeping bags
* Flashlight with extra batteries
* First-Aid Kit
* Shovel, tools, booster cables, and windshield scraper
* High-calorie non-perishable food
* Sand or cat litter to use for traction

As The Snow Falls... | |
 The Village of Saukville Public Works Department reminds all Village property owners that resident cooperation is essential to the success of winter snow removal operations. Residents can help in the following areas:
Do not shovel or blow snow into the street.
This creates a hazardous condition for motorists and may require return trips by snowplows to clear the street. State Statutes and Village Ordinances prohibit this action and doing so may result in a fine.
Shovel snow to the right hand side of your driveway as you face the street. This helps to reduce the amount of snow pushed into your driveway by snowplows clearing snow from the street.
Move parked vehicles off of the streets prior to snowfall events. Parked cars are a hindrance to snow removal operations requiring more time and costly return trips to effectively clear the streets.
Removed sidewalk snow to the front yard instead of the area between the sidewalk and the curb. This provides more snow storage capacity between the sidewalk and the curb for snow removed from the street.
Check the condition of your mailbox and post. In most cases, a strong post and secure mailbox will withstand the impact of snow coming off of the snowplow.
Shovel snow from around your fire hydrant. Clear snow away from fire hydrants located near your property. This effort helps the Fire Department and the Water Utility to manage the water supply system and to quickly respond to emergencies.
Thank you for your cooperation. |
