❄️SNOW SEASON 2019/2020
As we head into the winter season the Village of Denmark Public Works Department wants to send a friendly reminder in regards to snow and ice removal on sidewalks fronting properties.
Per Village of Denmark Ordinance Section 260-5, the property owner is required to clear the sidewalk fronting their property within 24 hours of a snowfall. If a property owner does not clear the sidewalk within that timeframe, the Village can clear the sidewalk and invoice the property owner for the cost of the maintenance.
Most property owners do a great job in keeping sidewalks clear after snowfalls and that is most appreciated. The Village of Denmark Public Works Department appreciates your understanding and cooperation as we all attempt to keep our traveling public moving in a safe, timely and efficient manner.

Recommendations for new sidewalks and driveways are as follows:

* Prevent snow and ice from accumulating on the concrete especially during the first winter. This is especially important when the ice and snow have been treated with de-icing components. Freezing and thawing with moisture present along with de-icing materials on the concrete produces one of the harshest conditions for concrete surfaces.

* De-icing chemicals should be avoided, especially the first winter. Sand should be used for traction.

* Never use de-icers containing fertilizer ingredients such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. These chemicals will attack and destroy concrete by chemical reaction.
