THE FIRE DEPT NEEDS YOUR HELP! The Fire department wants to remind everyone that Snow-

covered fire hydrants, blocked access routes, and covered address markings will slow down not only the department’s response, but also our ability to provide the necessary emergency service. There is something that you can do to help.

Everyone in the community, residents, business owners, and snow removal crews can assist the Fire Department by clearing away the fire hydrants, and keeping an area approx. four feet around the hydrant clear. Furthermore, when possible, keep the sidewalks, driveways, and entrances to a business or residence clear. The snow removal companies can help by making sure they are not placing the plowed snow in any of the above-mentioned areas, which would create the hazards we are trying to avoid. The recent snowstorms combined with little or no snow melting has led to a situation where the snow on the ground has passed the height of a hydrant.

In this situation, the clearing of hydrants becomes crucial; and by taking the extra effort, we may all be preventing a tragedy.

The fire department wants to remind everyone that shoveling snow can be a very labor-intensive process, and anyone who may doubt his or her physical condition should take it slow and get someone to help you.

Anyone needing further information is asked to please call the Fire Department at 847-395-5511.

SNOW REMOVAL AND WINTER DRIVING

The Village of Antioch snow removal policy is as follows: After one inch of snow accumulates, please note that no parking is allowed on any Village street until snow removal has been completed. Also, no plowing, snow blowing, or shoveling of snow onto Village streets is permitted.

The Public Works Department would like to remind the residents who have their mailboxes on posts to check them. If the posts are in poor shape, residents are encouraged to replace them. Only those mailboxes that are physically hit by a plow will be replaced. Those instances where the force of the snow from a plow knocks over the mailbox due to a rotten post, an insufficiently sized post or those that are not installed properly will not be replaced. In order to avoid mailbox damage, please follow US Postal guidelines for the replacement of your mailbox. Please see the article in this newsletter for more information on reporting mailbox damage.

We do receive complaints of snow being pushed in driveways during snowstorms, so we ask you to wait until the shoulders are pushed back before shoveling your driveways. Snow removal operations are adjusted as the storm dictates. Snow removal will continue until each roadway and street that the department is responsible for has been addressed. The department does not address roadways or streets based on calls to the department. Rather, the department clears roadways in the order of main streets first, side streets second, and dead-ends, cul-de-sacs and others last. The Public Works Department does not plow State or County roads.

Now is the time to inspect your vehicle in preparation for winter. An emergency kit with a blanket, first aid kit, snow brush,

a bag of kitty litter, a cell phone charger, and a shovel are just some of the items that you may wish to have available.

SAFE DRIVING FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT The Antioch Fire Department wishes to remind everyone to

take extra care while driving during the winter season, as road conditions are always changing due to snow events, freezing precipitation and icing. The local highway and public works departments do a very good job at keeping the roadways clear and safe driving includes operating our vehicles around snow removal equipment. Snowplows need room to work so it is important to leave enough space when passing, as the actual snowplow blade may cross the centerline or shoulder. Do not tailgate, as snow plows travel slower and make frequent stops during the snow removal process and the driver’s field of vision may be limited.

We are fortunate that winter weather forecasts provide everyone with advance notice that a storm may occur, however how many of us take the time to insure our vehicles are prepared? This preparation includes checking fuel levels, windshield washer fluid levels, antifreeze fluid levels and properly inflated tires are all crucial pre-travel items that need to be checked. If you vehicle was outside when the storm started make sure your windshields and mirrors are free of snow and ice buildup; as well as your vehicle’s lighting systems.

During a winter weather event, allow yourself enough time to travel and avoid pushing the envelope when it comes to departure times. Most winter weather accidents are a result of spinouts and vehicles sliding off the roads, which is directly linked to traveling to fast for the weather and road conditions. While driving, leave extra space between vehicles and increase your braking distance when approaching intersections or accident scenes with emergency works present.

By following these, few simple tips and keeping in mind that winter travel requires a drivers full attention; everyone can do their part to make the roads safer.

MAILBOX REIMBURSEMENT POLICY

It is the policy of the Village of Antioch to reimburse homeowners up to $75 for mailboxes that have been damaged due to direct contact with a snow plow. This does not include damage due to the force of the snow when pushed by a plow. When a driver observes a damaged mailbox, they will provide you with a notice of the cause for damage. If your notice states that your mailbox has been damaged due to direct contact with a snow plow, you may be reimbursed up to $75 for your mailbox, once receipts and the necessary paperwork have been submitted.

If you did not receive a notice, and wish to report mailbox damage due to direct contact with a snow plow, please contact the public works department at 847-395-1881, or visit our website at www.antioch.il.gov to send an email.

ORDINANCE - SNOW REMOVAL

• Persons Required to Remove Snow. The owners, occupants, or lessees of lots which abut a public sidewalk are required to clear snow after two inches has accumulated. Additionally, the owner is required to clear off accumulations of ice, sleet, or freezing rain. The responsible person is required to maintain the sidewalk in a reasonably clear condition.

• Area required to be cleared. The responsible person is required to clear the lesser of 72 inches or the full width of the sidewalk. Additionally, owners most closely abutting sidewalk ramps are required to clear the ramps. • Timing. Clearance should occur within 24 hours after the cessation of an event that deposits at least two inches of snow.

PHOSPHORUS BAN

Last year the Village Board of Trustees passed an ordinance banning the use of fertilizer containing phosphorus within Village Limits in order to limit the concentration of phosphorus in the Village’s lakes, rivers and streams. Wherever fertilizer is sold within village limits, a sign must be posted that reads “The Village of Antioch prohibits the application of fertilizer containing phosphorus to an lawn or turf area and any impervious surface, drainage way, wetland or buffer zone”. Please be sure when you purchase fertilizer that it does not contain phosphorus
