Snow-covered streets will be plowed and salted according to established priorities that are based on traffic volume, public safety and access to emergency facilities and schools. During major snowstorms, crews will plow and salt continuously prior to high volume traffic hours. Depending on the type and intensity of the storm, plowing operations may be suspended during peak traffic hours to devote maximum effort to salting operations that provide better traction. Plowing operations will resume after peak traffic hours.

Snow Removal News Archives:

10/18/06: New Salt Storage Building: The city has built a new salt storage facility located at the old VFW Fireman's Hall on East Loveland Avenue.  The new facility will hold approximately 600 tons of road salt that the city will use to de-ice the roadways.  Currently the City has one facility located in Commerce Park.  In the past it has been very time consuming to drive from the Clermont and Warren County portion of the city to the Commerce Park to load the salt during a snow storm event.  The new facility will eliminate this time and keep the drivers on the roads fighting the snow.

12/5/05: Brine Application: At the end of the last winter the City purchased a salt brine maker which consists of a 1000 gallon storage tank that mixes salt and water to make a brine solution.  The salt brine solution is then applied to the main streets, hills and bridges to prevent a layer of ice from forming on the road.  The salt brine is very effective down to temperatures of approximately 22 degrees and can only be applied when the roadways are dry.  The crews can apply the salt brine solution to the roads in the afternoon during normal working hours which will allow them more time at night to respond to icy road conditions.  Many other Cities, State and Counties agencies are also applying the brine solution to the roadways.

The City of Loveland is now providing for  year-round drop-off.

Also, all Loveland residents, regardless of County, can use Hamilton County's yard waste drop off program year round. Please visit the Hamilton County Solid Waste Disposal Website for more information.
