With winter on our doorstep and cool temperatures settling in, the City of Washington is reminding residents of the town’s snow ordinances. Property owners are responsible for clearing their sidewalks of ice and snow. Snow and ice shall be cleared from public sidewalks within 24 hours after the snow has ceased or ice has formed. Also, it is unlawful to remove snow or ice and put it in a public street, right of way, alley or sidewalk. If it is not removed, the City may do so and levy the cost of the work against the property.
