FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When does this ordinance apply?
When there is an accumulation of ice and/or more than two inches of snow has formed or fallen. 

How much snow do I need to clear to be in compliance?
The Township municipal code requires the entire constructed width and length of the sidewalk to be clear of snow and ice. If a person owns a corner lot, the owner is responsible for clearing sidewalks and accessible ramps. 

How much time do I have to clear the sidewalks?
Snow and ice must be removed within 24 hours after a snowfall ends. 

Who is responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks?
Property owners in Delta are responsible for removing snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property. If you do not own your residential or business property, check with your rental or lease agreement or management company to see what your sidewalk-clearing responsibility is.

What happens if I don’t clear the sidewalk?
To ensure pedestrian safety, the Township will provide for removal and bill the property owner for the actual cost plus an administrative fee. 

Who do I call if I want to report sidewalks that have not been cleared?
The Delta Township Manager's Office at 517-323-8590. 

What is the best way to remove snow from the sidewalk?

• Shovel your sidewalks on all sides of your property, down to the bare concrete. 
• Clear ramps at corners and crosswalks.
• Move snow to your yard or the parkway adjacent to your property.
• DO NOT push snow from sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots onto streets, bike lanes, crosswalks, bus stops, and fire hydrants.
• DO NOT assume that a small amount of snow will melt away. It may turn into ice, making later removal much more difficult. 
• If you are out of town or are unable to clear ice and snow due to physical limitations, please be sure to have someone else prepared to maintain the sidewalk for you.

Fire Hydrants 
There are many Fire Hydrants in the Township. Please help us keep Delta safe by shoveling around the hydrant near your property.
