NEW CITY – With the forecast that we could see snow later this week, Rockland County Executive Ed Day and County Highway Superintendent Charles Vezzetti said Tuesday that the County Highway Department is well prepared for this coming snow and ice season.
The highway department will be holding its annual snow and ice school on November 6 and 7 at 23 New Hempstead Road in New City. All members of the department will receive a refresher course in plowing, sensible salting, as well as personal and operational safety.
The training concludes with operators making trial runs of their individual snow plow routes.
“Our Highway Department operates 24 snow plow routes which cover 170 miles of County roads,” said Vezzetti. “Our mechanics and assistants have been working on preparing the snow plow fleet since mid-September. All the County’s trucks, loaders and plows have been individually inspected, serviced and are ready to battle the elements this winter.”
