Update from DPW
The Department of Public Works is continuing to work around the clock until all neighborhoods have been plowed curb to curb and salted. At this time, half of our City sections of roads have been completed, and we will continue to provide updates from DPW regarding the status of our city streets.
With the high winds and expected temperature drop, we would also like residents to be aware that the salt distributed on roads will lose its effect due to the cold. DPW will make sure that roads will remain plowed and passable, but please take extra caution when driving as roadways may be slippery.
Stay Warm: Extended Facility Hours
We know that select areas and homes of the city are currently without power, and we want to make sure you stay safe and warm until it is restored.
Many of our city facilities are open today and can provide warmth and entertainment during our business hours.

Please Note
The city of Sterling Heights has not declared a snow emergency at this time, but the Department of Public Works is prepared to clear the way for our residents!
Also important to remember, per city ordinance, residents must have their sidewalks cleared of snow within 24 hours from the end of snowfall. OnDemand snow removal services can also be found on our website.
With the help of our community, no snow emergency is too difficult for the DPW to clean up.
