About
During the winter season, the Public Works staff works tirelessly to provide safe travel throughout the village and cost effective clearing and removal of ice and snow from Village streets and parking lots via 9 snow plow routes pictured right (clickable).
Every storm is unique due to rate and accumulation of snowfall, moisture content and temperature during and after the storm. While a plan does exist and there is a standard method of operation, there must be flexibility within the plan to account the variations with the individual events.

Agreement with Hampshire Township Road District
The Village of Hampshire and the Hampshire Township Road District entered into an intergovernmental agreement for snow removal operations in December of 2021. This agreement calls for the sharing of snow removal responsibilities for certain portions of each other’s jurisdiction in an effort to increase efficiency by allowing one of the parties to plow an entire roadway that has split jurisdiction rather than stopping snow removal at jurisdictional boundaries.
