The Municipality of Bluewater is reminding residents that its winter maintenance season begins November 15th and runs until April 15th.
During this time, crews will be working to keep local roads and sidewalks clear and safe for travel. If winter weather arrives early or continues beyond April 15th, the Manager of Public Works may adjust the schedule.
Residents are also reminded that an overnight parking ban is in effect throughout the winter maintenance season. Vehicles cannot be parked on any municipal street, highway or boulevard between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. This rule helps crews clear snow safely and efficiently.
