Snow removal is done on all main and through streets before clearing begins on side streets, dead ends, or cul-de-sacs. Parking is prohibited on all streets after 2 inches of snowfall. No vehicles can be parked on the roadway or its shoulder for a period of 24 hours after the accumulation of 2 inches or more of snow or until the street has been cleared of snow. When City plows are clearing snow, the Police Department will issue tickets and are empowered to tow vehicles.

It is not possible to prevent the deposit of snow at driveway entrances. This is the safest and most efficient way to remove snow. The City does not provide snow removal from sidewalks or driveway entrances. Private property owners are responsible for snow removal on their property. It is unlawful to shovel, plow or otherwise deposit snow onto City streets, as this causes a hazard for motorists and emergency vehicles.

During the winter months, residents can, in some cases, be compensated for mailboxes damaged by snowplows. For any mailbox damaged or destroyed by a City snowplow, the resident can have the mailbox repaired or replaced by the City, or receive reimbursement at cost or up to $100 towards the replacement of an "in kind" mailbox. Residents have up to 30 days to submit a claim. A claim form must be completed and sent to 28W701 Stafford Place, Warrenville, IL 60555, Attention: Risk Manager. Please include any estimates and/or receipts. A claim form can be downloaded from the link below. Upon receipt of the claim, the Public Works Department will inspect the damaged mailbox.
