❄️ Winter Weather Advisory: City of Wapakoneta Prep❄️
The City of Wapakoneta is closely monitoring the winter weather forecast for this upcoming weekend. Our teams are already in motion to ensure our community remains safe and accessible.
Our Action Plan
Pretreatment: Crews are currently out pretreating main roads to get ahead of the accumulation.
Ready to Respond: We have teams from Electric, Public Works, and other key departments on standby, ready to jump into action the moment conditions necessitate.
How You Can Help
To help our crews work as efficiently and safely as possible, we ask residents to keep the following in mind:
Give Crews Space: Please maintain a safe distance from plows and salt trucks.
Clear the Streets: Avoid parking on the street. Empty roadways allow our drivers to clear snow more thoroughly and quickly. (https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/wapakoneta/latest/wapa_oh/0-0-0-72079#JD_452.17)
Snow Disposal: A friendly reminder to avoid blowing or shoveling snow back into the roadway.
The City of Wapakoneta has full confidence in our dedicated teams to prioritize the safety and well-being of our residents. We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigate this winter event together.
