Trigger Depth: An amount of snow accumulation in a single Snow Event which will activate
snow removal services under this agreement. Trigger Depth is determined by Southview taking three separate measurements at the contract property. If at least two of the three measurements is greater than the Trigger Depth, Southview will provide services as provided under this agreement.
Trigger Depth: Plowing = 1.5”
Trigger Depth: Shoveling = 1.5”
Snow Event: A weather event in which snow accumulates on a property to at least the Trigger Depth. If the Trigger Depth is not reached and snowfall ceases for two or more hours, it will not be considered a serviceable Snow Event.
Multiple Snow Events which do not reach Trigger Depth will not be added together in order to reach the Trigger Depth, regardless of how many back to back events fail to reach the Trigger Depth.
Plowing Services
• Snow services will begin when trigger depth has been hit and will be cleaned at cessation of the event.
• Plowing of drives and walks during a continual “snow event” is to be completed prior to 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., to allow for passage of emergency vehicles and homeowners.
In heavy snow conditions reasonable extensions will be granted.
• Cleanup of drifting snow will be completed upon request by the property owner at an
additional charge.
• Cleanup after city plows will be completed upon request by the property owner at an
additional charge.

Sidewalk Services
• Shoveling of sidewalks, garage aprons and entryways is to be completed at time of plowing.
• Fire hydrants and mailbox areas to be cleared for easy access: following the sidewalk, garage aprons and entryway schedule.
