The City of Kettering is committed to maintaining a comparable level
of service as in previous years.  Prudent salt price negotiations, additional driver training, careful equipment calibration, and pre-brining the streets
are just a few ways the City of Kettering will continue to operate
without reduction in service. We will increase our usage of brine. You’ll notice white “stripes” on the City roadways as a result of this solution. Anti-icing solution (brine) is economical, prevents ice and snow from bonding to the pavement, provides up to an hour of melting power,
and eases plowing.

The safety of our citizens is a top priority, and we work hard
to provide reasonably safe and passable road surfaces
throughout the year.

Tips for residents:

Stay informed about pending weather conditions

Allow extra travel time

Maintain a safe following distance and slower speeds

Avoid peak traffic hours

Do not attempt to pass snowplow trucks, which are plowing in teams

Remove parked vehicles from street

Snow plowed across driveways is unavoidable. When shoveling,
   you may consider placing the snow on the left side of your driveway
   (as you face your property) to lessen the amount of shoveling due
   to snow plow deposits.

Carefully clear sidewalks as soon as practical

Take breaks when shoveling to avoid exhaustion
