The County provides snow clearing services to Smoky Lake County residents for their residential driveways under the following terms and conditions:
- The resident buys a flag and a flag is posted at the entrance to the driveway well before County snow clearing equipment is expected.
- Snow will be cleared along the most direct route commonly used to access the residence, including the turn-around in the yard where it is safe to do so, conditional upon a minimum of 6 inches of snow.
- Areas considered too narrow or too close to buildings or other possible hazards to the safe use of the equipment as determined by the equipment operator will not be eligible for snow clearing.
- Snow clearing on private residential driveways will take place after all County roads have been cleared with the exception of those belonging to health care and emergency workers, and people with a known life threatening health risk, excluding people having previously scheduled doctor’s appointments.
Flags may be purchased at the County’s Public Works Shop from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and various other locations that may be determined from time to time.
