A note from your Huntsville Town Maintenance Team
11/17/2025
Neighbors, we hope you’re looking forward to winter. This year, we’ve added another qualified snowplow driver and increased our maintenance staff. Please bear with us as we settle in and learn the most efficient way to keep our little town safe and accessible.
First, please be patient and courteous with our plow drivers. While experienced, accidents can happen, and some team members are still in training. Your understanding helps us do our job safely and efficiently, keeping streets clear for everyone.
Town ordinances make it unlawful to push, place, or blow snow from private property onto paved streets. When clearing driveways, push snow completely off town roads on the same side of the driveway or directly across it. Snow should be piled on the parking strip or within the shoulder and never block sight lines for cross traffic. Our drivers will try to minimize wind rows, but please remove obstacles from the roadside, like downed branches or disabled vehicles.
If snow is in the forecast, hold off on putting out trash cans, and after pickup, bring them in promptly. Consider helping neighbors who may not be able to. Clear roads make snow removal faster and safer for everyone.
Unfortunately, we no longer have access to inmate labor from the county Sheriff to clear areas around fire hydrants. Please understand that the Town does not have the manpower and is unable to clear hydrants, so please keep hydrants near your property and your mailbox clear. Your help keeps you and your neighbor safe.
At the start of the season, our drivers focus on opening roads, which may disturb the grass along the edges. We apologize for any inconvenience and will repair major damage in the spring. As snowbanks grow, please drive slowly and cautiously, especially at intersections. Some team members are new and still learning road edges.
Thank you for your patience and support. If you have concerns or if a street was missed, email us at MAINT@HUNTSVILLETOWN.GOV. It’s a pleasure to serve this great town.
Let it Snow!
