White Salmon Snow Plow Policy

City of White Salmon Resident:

This information sheet is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the City's snow removal procedures.

Snow Plowing Responsibilities

Who will be handling the plowing?

• The City's dedicated Public Works team plows the public streets and to-and-thru alleys.
• The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will handle plowing on State Route 14 and Highway 141.
• The City and WSDOT will collaborate in the downtown area to plow Highway 141/Jewett Blvd.
• We kindly request that property owners and tenants assume responsibility for private alleys, driveways, fire hydrants, lanes, and sidewalks. This is necessary to avoid potential damage to private property.

Snow Accumulation and Plowing Schedule

When does the plowing commence?

Our plowing operations kick off when 3 inches of snow accumulate, and each situation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

What is the plowing schedule for city streets?

Please refer to the color-coded map or the snow removal plan table to understand snow removal routes.

Our general working hours for snow removal are from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with flexibility for special emergency conditions.

Proper Snow Piling Locations

Where should snow be piled?

We request that you pile snow in your yard area and avoid placing it near the curb or pushing it onto the street.

Our city crew makes every effort to plow the streets without pushing snow onto sidewalks and driveway entrances. However, there may be occasions when this is unavoidable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
