Snow Pushing Information

Winter 2023 - 2024

In order to ensure a smooth winter season, we wanted to provide facts regarding snow pushing within the Community and clarify each party that is responsible for pushing snow within specific areas.

Snow pushing will occur when 2” of snow has accumulated or at the end of a snow event. Each party involved will work as quickly as possible to ensure the snow is pushed efficiently and in a timely manner. Daybreak is a large Community and may utilize multiple contractors. It is important to note that it may take several hours (or days) to complete the snow-pushing process depending on the amount of snow received, wind conditions and other storm factors. You may not see them immediately based on the crew's starting location. However, the crews will begin with a different location for each snow event to provide everyone an opportunity to have their snow cleared first. It is recommended that each resident keep a shovel on hand in the event of a snow emergency, the need to travel before snow clearing has been completed, or in the event the Board approves a change to the level of service. We appreciate your patience during the snow-pushing process.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Snow Pushing in Daybreak

• Q: Will the Association perform snow-pushing services and lay down ice melt products between snow events?
• A: No. The Association(s) will only respond after the initial snow event. Each owner is responsible for ensuring that their areas, including the public sidewalks, pathways, porches, steps, etc., remain as clear as possible between events. With extreme storms, the Board may send crews out between events.

• Q: The city trucks plowed after the Association, leaving a berm blocking my driveway. Will the Association come back out and remove it?
• A: No. While the City and Association try to complement each other's snow service, it is impossible to be on the same schedule, and snow falls randomly from plow blades. Keeping a shovel on hand will help you address this situation.

• Q: I live in a single-family home. Will the Association push snow around my home?
• A: No. The Association pushes snow around common areas and other areas they are responsible for maintaining, as called out in the Governing Documents. Each single-family homeowner is responsible for the public sidewalk that borders their property. It is a City ordinance that requires each homeowner to keep that area clear for pedestrian traffic. Please visit the South Jordan City website, sjcutah.gov, or call their office at 801-446-4357 if you have any questions regarding the ordnance and snow-pushing requirements.

If 70% of the budget is used for the Association or BSA, the Board of Directors will evaluate the level of snow-pushing service provided and determine if a change is needed to help remain within budget.

During the period from November 1 through March 1, parking in the public right of way is only allowed on the side of the street with even building numbers during a snow event and for a period of 24 hours after the end of a snow event.
