Snow Removal

The Village of Moreland Hills Service Department provides snow removal for all dedicated streets within the Village boundaries which totals approximately 78 lane miles. During a continuous snowfall the plow routes are divided into two zones. Routes are plowed and salted with the Village main roads and secondary roads with steep grades taking top priority. When the snowplow operator has determined that the priority streets are safe for travel, all other secondary and side streets will be plowed and salted. During heavy continuous snows storms the service department enacts a conservation mode regarding salt usage requiring that all roads be plowed and salt only be applied at curves, hills, and intersections.

Snow and Ice Removal

The Village of Moreland Hills has implemented the use of liquid deicers for the 2008-2009 snow season. This helped reduce the overall use of granular road salt by 20- 30%, which is more economical for the Village, and will also help to protect the environment for our children’s future.

The overall recommendations and goals of the Village are to increase side street coverage, become less dependent on aggregates, increase liquid technology, protect the environment, while being as fiscally responsible as possible to better serve the residents of Moreland Hills.
