Property owners in the City of Washington are reminded they are responsible for keeping sidewalks clear of snow and ice. Steve Donnolly, Building and Zoning Official, states that walkways leading to the street are included in this ordinance. Winds in the area recently have caused blowing snow which has drifted over area sidewalks. Donnolly adds, if property owners fail to remove ice and snow from sidewalks the City may do so with the cost of the removal levied against the property, per City Ordinance chapter 53.
