Snow and Ice Removal Policy

During times of inclement weather, the City follows the guidelines and procedures as outlined in the City of Bartlesville Snow and Ice Removal Policy.

The policy includes the following guidelines:

SNOW & ICE CONTROL GUIDELINES

Snow is plowed only on major streets.

Snow will not be plowed on residential streets.

It will be the responsibility of the property owner to clear their driveways and sidewalks.

Snow removed from driveways, sidewalks, or parking areas shall not be placed in the street.

An attempt will be made to follow set priorities. However, due to blowing or drifting snow, some streets must be plowed repeatedly to control drifting snow.

In removing snow from the streets, it cannot be expected that all the snow will be removed down to bare pavement. A salt/sand mixture will be applied to improve traction where ice or snow remains.

CMA snow melt may be applied to dry road surfaces in anticipation of snow or ice to help in keeping the snow or ice from adhering to the roadway surface. It may be applied later to help keep the precipitation from freezing solid.

Due to the intensity of the storm or the time of day that the storm arrives, set priorities may be changed with prior approval of the city manager, Public Works director or his designated representative.
