Snow Removal Information

Keeping roads, sidewalks, and parking lots clear of snow is a cooperative effort! Thank you for your help in keeping the Town of Sellersburg safe for all residents. We understand you have a life and have somewhere to be.

Our goal is for Town of Sellersburg managed roadways to be cleared and safe for travel faster than all other surrounding communities.
• Crews work around the clock and in multiple shifts as needed depending on the snow event.
• In the event the snow accumulations happen when it is extremely cold, the treatment for melting may not be effective during the overnight hours due to frigid temperatures. UV radiation from sun exposure during the daytime hours will speed the melting process. If there was an overnight snow event, please take your time in the morning as the roads may have been treated but slick spots may still happen.

How Does the Town Handle Snow Removal?
The Town begins preparing for snow long before the first flakes hit the ground. When weather conditions are appropriate, crews apply a brine liquid to roadways before forecasted snow/icy conditions. We manufacture our own brine and apply it with our homemade spreading tanks.

As snow fall accumulates, the Town broken down into 3 separate assigned areas where teams begin working. Where possible, the teams will clear a single road in one pass using multiple trucks in a staggard pattern. We use a mix of our F-250’s and dump trucks that have been outfitted with plows and salt spreaders. The teams will stage at the start of the snow event and begin clearing once accumulation begins. They will then go nonstop until the storm passes and all roads are clear, treated, and safe.

If you are on the roads during a snow event and see our snowplows coming towards you in a neighborhood, PLEASE give them the right of way.

Snow accumulations at the curb caused by Town plows are unavoidable. Please understand that work crews cannot stop to clear driveways as this occurs.

How Can You Help?
Parking
• On street parking can slow the snow removal process. If you typically park in the street but have somewhere off the street to park when snow is forecast (such as a driveway), you are asked to do so. This will allow crews to better clear the roadways. In addition, parking the additional vehicle in your driveway will make clearing your driveway easier because the snow never reaches your driveway.
• If you have nowhere to park EXCEPT for in the street, please park as close to the curb as possible.
• If snow falls when you are supposed to be putting your trash cans out for collection, DO NOT place your trash cans &/or recycling in the street. Please place trash cans approximately 3ft behind the curb. The Town trash truck has an extendable arm that will be able to reach it.

Driving During a Snow Event
• If at all possible, we ask that you stay off the roadways during a snow event. This will allow us to more quickly clear roadways. In addition, should you have a “slide off” or other accident, response time could be diminished due to the storm.
• If you are driving and see Town vehicles clearing the roadway, please pull over and out of the way to allow them to pass. This will aid in speeding up the clearing process.
• If you do have to drive during or immediately after a snow event, please let someone know where you are going and expected arrive time. Also be sure to take appropriate precaution to have provisions in your vehicle should you become stuck. Depending on the snow event, emergency response time could be diminished due to road conditions.

The Town does not clear streets within the Friendly Villages of Indian Oaks. Streets within Indian Oaks are private and maintained by the ownership of Indian Oaks.
