The Town of Herndon’s Department of Public Works is responsible for snow removal in the town's right-of-way. Arterial routes receive first priority for salting, sanding, and plowing. Upon completion of clearing these routes, town crews will address all other streets in accordance with snow removal policy.
Residents can assist snow removal efforts as follows:
Avoid shoveling sidewalks and driveways into the right-of-way, as this may result in additional snow being pushed back into driveway areas by snow plows. Do not block storm drains or fire hydrants.
Avoid parking vehicles on streets and cul-de-sacs. This limits clearance for snow removal vehicles and makes snow removal difficult or impossible.
In an Emergency call 911
Police Dispatch is available 24 hours a day at 703-435-6846
If you have any questions please contact the Department of Public Works Operations Center at (703) 435-6860 Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., or you can email publicworks@herndon-va.gov |
