Be Snow Savvy, Longmont

Please remember to shovel sidewalks around your property within 24 hours after snowfall ends. This ensures safe passage for everyone. Avoid shoveling snow into streets, instead place it onto your lawn. This practice helps keep stormwater free of pollutants and allows your yard to absorb moisture, conserving water and benefiting your landscape. By following these guidelines you contribute to a safer, more sustainable Longmont. For more tips, visit our Snow Savvy Guide online at bit.ly/SnowsavvyLongmont.
