SNOW & ICE CONTROL POLICY (click here)

WINTER REFUSE COLLECTION

During winter months, solid waste (garbage) shall not be placed on top of the snow banks, nor shall it be placed in the roadway. The owner must either shovel out an area behind the curb in which to place his/her waste or he/she shall place it in his/her driveway.

All business and/or property owners must clear the snow and ice from around the dumpster or it will not get picked up. Even though we are experiencing a mild winter and there has not been a lot of snow, a thank you to all the residents who remove snow from crosswalks and fire hydrants in the winter months. Some reminders of Village Ordinances that need to be followed during winter conditions.

WINTER PARKING

Village ordinance prohibits parking on any Village Street or in any municipal
parking lot from 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM, December 1st thru April 1st. This ordinance is established to assist with potential snow removal. Metro Police
Department may grant permission for on street parking if snow is not predicted in the forecast. Call 788-7505.

FIRE HYDRANTS

Anyone with a fire hydrant near their property is asked to help keep the snow
cleared from around it.

SALT BARREL REMINDER

The salt barrels located in the Village are for emergency use on the
streets only; not for residential use.

SIDEWALKS

Snow must be cleared from the sidewalks within 24 hours after each snowfall. If ice builds up, it must be removed or treated with a melting agent. It is Village policy to address unshoveled sidewalks only when a complaint has been filed. Village officials do not go out looking for sidewalks that need shoveling.

CROSSWALKS

Anyone unable to clear the corner is asked to put a path in each direction of the crosswalk. The rest of the snow will be removed as soon as time permits.

DRIVING

Please adapt for winter driving. The greatest cause of winter accidents is "driving too fast for conditions." Please take enough time to slow down and stop, and remain at least 200 ft. behind snowplows and spreaders.

WARNING NOTICE

Per Village ordinance 6-2-7, it is unlawful to deposit snow or ice (from shoveling or snow blowing) onto Village streets, alleys, or sidewalks. Depositing snow onto Village streets or alleys not only causes added expense for snow clean up, but also creates hazardous driving conditions. Because of the severity of this violation, the Village of Kimberly is being forced to issue this warning in an attempt to curb the violations presently occurring.

PLEASE NOTE: A second violation will result in a citation and fine of $55.00 issued by the Metro Police Department.
