General Information
During times of snow accumulations of 5 or more inches, please move your vehicles to the side so the drivers can plow an area for you to park in. Our drivers will do their best to avoid plowing snow behind or close to your walkways and vehicles. Please understand our drivers do their best to serve you and many others during snow storms and they may be delayed if they get stuck or have equipment failure or difficulties. Also know that our plow drivers must be able to plow snow and cannot devote time to manual snow removal. If you are an Elder or Disabled and you need assistance with manual snow removal, please contact Tribal Housing at 563-4710. Information on Tribal Office closures, weather reports, and clinic updates is available by calling the Tribal Hotline at 563-4800.
Walkways and Roof – Snow Removal
Snow removal from walkways and roofs order of priority is: 1st) Dialysis Patients; 2nd) Disabled/Frail Tribal Members. In general, roof snow will be removed if the snow depth accumulates to a level where safety concerns are evident or potential damage to roof or structures may occur. If you believe you should be included in one of the categories, please contact Agriculture/Custom Farm, Mateo Carmenoros at 563-0220 or 759-1668.
Roof Raking
Roof raking for roofs is done by Construction Services Division on a case by case basis. The Tribe will not climb on roofs to remove snow, but will stand on the ground and reach as far as the tool will allow to safely remove accumulations of twelve (12) inches or more. Please contact Construction Services Division at 563-0260.
Livestock – Snow Plowing
Plowing snow for livestock is done by the Ag. Division and is low on the priority list. There is a minimum charge of $35 due in advance for all livestock snow plowing. The cost is $35 per hour for the first hour and then $30 per hour for time in excess of one hour plus 35 cents per mile one way for travel time on livestock snow plowing. Please contact Agriculture Division, Custom Farm at 970-563-0220 if you wish to pay for these services.
Please remember to move personal items such as bikes, lawn mowers, water hoses, planter boxes any other item(s) out of the way, so that they do not get damaged by the snow plows.
