Winter weather reminder ...

The City of Waukon Streets Department would like to remind residents and visitors that parking on city streets is prohibited between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. starting November 15 and lasting through April 1, as posted on signage (pictured above) at all highway entrances to the city. This restriction is for the purpose of best facilitating snow removal on city streets, which has actually gotten a bit of an earlier start this year than what’s posted for parking restrictions. City of Waukon officials also remind residents and property owners that snow needs to be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of a snowfall, otherwise City of Waukon staff will remove the snow and charge the property owner as much as $200 each time snow has to be removed from sidewalks. Residents and property owners are also reminded by City officials to shovel out water meter locations and fire hydrants on their property to help provide easier access to those items.
