Plow Infractions

On February 15, 2008, the Town of Greenville adopted an ordinance (view here) that bans depositing of snow in public right-of-ways. This means that all snow that is cleared from your driveway must be deposited within your own property. Public right-of-ways include roads, ditches, paths and walkways. Pushing snow across or into Town roads is also against this ordinance.

When snow is pushed in or across town roads it not only interferes with snow plow operations, but can also damage town equipment. Snow left in the ROW can freeze and leave unexpected bumps causing damage to the blades when plows are riding down the road.

If a property is in violation, the Town of Greenville may issue citations. Citations start at $25 and may reach up to $250 for repeat violations. Before any citation is issued, the Public Works Department will send a "Notice of Violation" to inform the property owner of the ordinance's existence and their violation of it. This initial letter has no fees associated with it and simply asks that property owners do not continue these practices.
