PRAIRIE DU SAC

WINTER PUBLIC SAFETY

The Village of Prairie du Sac requires sidewalks (including crosswalk entrances) to be cleared of snow and ice within 12 hours after the snow or ice ceases to fall by the adjacent property owner/occupant.  If ice has formed on any sidewalk so that it cannot be immediately removed, the sidewalk shall be kept sprinkled with salt, sawdust or sand.  If walks are not maintained as required, the Village is authorized to clear it and the cost of doing so will be charged against the property and, if not paid, will be assessed to the property’s tax bill.  In addition to abatement costs associated with snow and ice, violators are subject to fines.  A separate offense shall be deemed committed during each day during which a violation occurs or continues.  

The Village of Prairie du Sac requires that all vehicles be off the streets once there is a snow accumulation of 2 inches to allow for snow plowing.  This parking restriction remains in effect for 48 hours after the snow has stopped or until the streets are cleared. 

The Village of Prairie du Sac also prohibits the blowing, pushing or otherwise depositing of snow or ice upon any streets or alleyways.   Per Village ordinance, it is the owner/occupant’s responsibility to keep mailboxes located on a terrace free and clear of snow.  Residents/Property Owners are encouraged to adopt a fire hydrant by keeping it clear of snow and ice.
