SNOW REMOVAL

Snow removal is divided into 2 types of services at St. Vrain Lakes.

Service #1:  Zero Tolerance Areas

• Zero Tolerance Snow Removal.  *(Snow removal and Ice melt will be applied at any measurement of snowfall for these areas)
• The Cove entry area sidewalk, Fitness Center entry area sidewalk.

Service #2:  2” Threshold Snow Removal – Post Storm (Walkways,  Duplex’s, and Parking Lots)

• Snow removal will occur if there has been 2 or more inches of snow post storm. (Post Storm meaning once the snowfall has stopped)
• We have 3 specific areas where we measure snowfall totals. *These areas are measured post storm*
• Once snow hits 2” at measured locations the snow removal team will perform service on walkways parking lots, courtyards, and duplex areas.
