With some warmer days ahead, it’s time to plan for snow melt to drain on private and public property. The City is prepared to respond to ponding at frozen or blocked catch basins with its boiler trucks and other clearing equipment. Residents can help by uncovering catch basins on their street when safe to do so.  

This winter had an above-average number of snow falls, leaving Saskatoon with extra snow on the streets to melt over the next few weeks. Fortunately, the forecast is showing daytime temperatures just above zero and overnight temperatures well-below zero. This combination should result in a slow melt, allowing snow piles to melt along the curbs into catch basins without collecting into large ponds.
