Snow and Ice Control

Process

Beaumont's Operations staff monitor the forecast and begins plowing and sanding at any time, 24 hours a day, when snow has accumulated to five centimetres, or when excessive drifting has occurred. Streets are cleared based on a priority system to ensure the highest traffic roadways are addressed first. The first priority is the arterial roads in Beaumont along with the other major roadways.

To find out the priority level of your property, use the interactive map to locate your address.
