Murray City Public Works crews from Streets, Water, Sewer, and Stormwater divisions are deployed when it storms to clear the snow. Residents can best help their efforts by:
· Removing all vehicles and trailers of the roadway when a storm is
forecasted.
· Keep parked vehicles off the roadway during the storm and until the
city has completed the snow removal from their streets.
· Shovel, blow or push snow onto grass areas not into the roadway.
(Snow melts into grass or unpaved areas and helps recharge our ground
water).
Deployment of Plows: The Street Department has someone on call (24) hours a day. During business hours, plows are deployed accordingly depending on snow fall. After hours and holidays, the police department will contact power central to dispatch the Streets on-call person. The on-call person will then contact the Street Superintendent and deploy salters to salt main roads, secondary roads, roads with hills and around schools. Once there is snow accumulation of approximately 2-3 inches on residential roadways, the Street Superintendent will call out all personnel of the Streets, Water, Sewer, and Stormwater departments to clear all roadways of snow.
Pre-treatment Before a Storm – If a storm is forecasted, Street Department Management will deploy trucks to spray a brine treatment on all main roads, secondary roads, roads with hills and around schools.
Sidewalk Crews - We also deploy (3) sidewalk crews with set routs to clear sidewalks on bridge overpasses and many public sidewalks throughout the city.
Street Parking - Residents need to have their vehicles off the street within (1) hour of the start of a snowstorm and continue until snow removal operations are complete.
Sidewalk Clearing - Snow needs to be removed from sidewalks with-in (24) hours after the storm has ceased.
Residents can get assistance by calling during regular hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, 801-270-2440 or after hours 801-264-9669.
