Department Preparation
The Blue Springs Public Works department maintains a 24-hour state of readiness from mid-November to mid-April for inclement weather. The personnel who work within the Streets Division become first responders for snow emergencies.
Additional personnel from the
Utilities Division and Park Maintenance Division become residential drivers if we receive more than 2 inches of snow.
Training of drivers for snow season is conducted in October. They learn predetermined routes, turn-by-turn, and equipment operation.
