How SMX Handles Snow Removal

Springmill Crossing no longer contracts with a private snow removal company for side streets and cul-de-sacs. The City of Carmel plow drivers know to plow them when they do a full city plow, which is only when there is over 3” of snow on the roads. Otherwise the City will only plow main roads and secondary roads.

It is  important to know that even when Carmel does a full city plow, it may take a few hours to get to the smaller streets depending on the severity of the snowfall. The City will always prioritize keeping main and secondary roads clear but will eventually get to the smaller roads when their crews are all caught up.

Sidewalks in front of your house are your responsibility to keep clear, and frozen retention ponds near the SMX pool are strictly off limits to sleds and ice skaters. 

Please mark the edges of your yard with reflector poles to provide visibility for snowplow trucks, especially on curves. Please refrain from parking on the streets during snowstorms and don’t shovel or blow snow back into the street from your driveway entrances after the plows go through.
