Report Highlights
- The Township of Springwater carries out road and sidewalk maintenance
following the Ontario Regulation 239/02 Minimum Maintenance Standards for
Municipal Highways (MMS).
- The last Winter Operations Plan was adopted by Council in 2023 through
Resolution No. C591-2023.
- Staff review the Township's Winter Operations Plan annually, optimize
operations, and make changes, as needed.
- The 2024/2025 winter maintenance season commenced on November 15th and
concludes on April 15th 2025.
Background
The Township of Springwater's Winter Operations Plan (Appendix A) has been a
working document with the purpose of outlining how winter maintenance is conducted,
the levels of service that are expected to be upheld and, general practices for staff and
fleet during various weather conditions.
The Plan is dynamic to allow the Township to evaluate and phase in any changes, new
approaches, and technologies in winter maintenance activities in a fiscally sound
manner. Any changes to the winter maintenance activities must adhere to the mandated
Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (MMS).
The Plan is updated annually as part of the Department's commitment to continuous
improvement. These updates provide staff with the opportunity to include level of
service amendments to accommodate the growing needs of the community, including
new developments, reconstruction projects and areas where route adjustments are
necessary.
The Township of Springwater is responsible for the winter maintenance on:
- 677.4 Lane Kilometres of paved roads;
- 187 Lane Kilometres of unpaved roads;

- 45.6 kilometres of sidewalk;
- 30 parking lots, and 29 water & wastewater facility locations.
Winter Operations Management - Objective
The Township of Springwater:
- Will meet the Provincial MMS requirements.
- Is committed to improving its winter maintenance operations while continuing to
ensure public safety.
- Will optimize the use of winter maintenance materials on all roads while striving
to minimize negative impacts to the natural environment.
- Roads and Fleet staff will strive to provide safe winter road conditions for
vehicular and pedestrian traffic as set out in the level of service policies and
within the resources established by Council in a fiscally responsible manner.
Route Adjustments
Each year, adjustments are needed to account for new development, capital
construction, route improvements, etc. Although these adjustments tend to be minor,
updates are reflected in the Township's Winter Operations Plan. Each road/sidewalk is
assigned a plow route (Appendix B) and these routes are balanced out to ensure that
the lane kilometre distance is relatively similar. During a typical snowfall event, a plow
route can be plowed within an 8-hour shift. This balance ensures that critical road
corridors as well as minor corridors are maintained to meet the described levels of
service based on their road classification per the MMS.
Minor adjustments have been made this year on existing plow routes to help optimize
route time efficiency, as well as account for new roads added into the Township's Road
network. The route adjustments are reflected in the overall plow route map in the Winter
Operations Plan.
As per resolution C616C-2024, a third-party contractor will be completing winter
maintenance on Old Second South, from Sutton Heights to 320m south of Sutton
Heights. The Township will continue to patrol the road and the Township's
representative will determine when maintenance is required. Once maintenance is
determined to be required, the third-party vendor will be contacted, and they will
complete all winter maintenance within 6 hours of the callout.
Similar to last year, the Township's website includes a live, in real-time, winter
maintenance tracker for residents to stay engaged and informed on how winter
operations are being conducted in their neighbourhood. The tracker provides
information such as weather forecasting as well as when each of the Township's
Page 3 of 4
roadways have been serviced by a snow plow. The tracker is currently available on the
Township's website for the winter season.
Conclusion
The Winter Operations Plan will continue to be a dynamic document in order to fit the
growing and changing needs of the Township of Springwater. The Plan will continue to
be reviewed and updated annually to account for new technology that could improve
winter maintenance services, fleet upgrades, staffing changes and training
requirements, revisions to Provincial and Municipal regulations/standards and finally,
capturing geographical changes to the Township's growing road network.
Financial Implications
Staff do not anticipate any negative implications to the operating budget for winter
maintenance operations.

Winter Maintenance Season
The winter maintenance season, within which the Township
of Springwater will perform winter highway maintenance,
commences on November 15 and will end on April 15 of
the following calendar year.
Winter Preparations
In the months prior to the start of the winter maintenance
season, the Township of Springwater undertakes the following
tasks to prepare for the upcoming winter season:
Prior to the Winter Season
Prior to the winter season, the Township of Springwater will:
1. Conduct a mandatory training session for staff
where all policies, procedures, schedules, reporting
procedures for callout, route maps, equipment
training and safety precautions will be discussed.
Any issues resulting from the meeting with regard
to the policies, procedures, schedules, reporting
procedures for callout, route maps, equipment
training and safety precautions shall be resolved
either at the meeting or prior to the winter season.
2. Train winter patrollers (or staff whose duties also
include patrolling) on the route of representative
roads to be patrolled between winter events, their
duties during a winter event, recording keeping
requirements and callout procedures and the de-
icing chemicals to be applied for the forecast weather
conditions.
3. Inspect equipment to ensure proper working
order. Schedule and complete any and all
equipment repairs.
4. Arrange for the delivery of materials (salt, sand and
liquid solution) and begin filling storage facilities.
5. Confirm that all guiderail, catch basin, hazard and fire
hydrant markers, if any, are in place. Any missing
markers will be replaced prior to the winter session.
One Month Prior to the Winter Season
One month prior to the winter season the Township of Springwater will
1. Assign equipment to staff.
2. Calibrate material application equipment.
Appendix A - Winter Operations Plan 2024/2025
16
3. Allow operators time to familiarize themselves with any
new equipment, material application rates, material
application equipment and their route (driving the route
and noting obstacles along the route).
4. Assign staff to monitor weather forecasts on a daily
basis. Assign night patrol shift if forecast indicates an
overnight winter event is probable. The Road
Supervisor will be authorized to initiate a winter event
response if conditions warrant a response.
5. Have 25% of the fleet ready to respond to a winter event.
6. Have sufficient staff available to operate the fleet if
conditions warrant a winter event response.
Two Weeks Prior to the Winter Season
Two weeks prior to the winter season the Township of Springwater
will:
1. Begin regularly scheduled winter patrol of
representative Township roads.
2. Have the required complement of the fleet ready to
respond to a winter event.
3. Have staff available to operate the required
complement of the fleet if conditions warrant
a winter event response
At the Start of the Winter Season
At the start of the winter season:
1. Implement the winter shift schedule for road
patrol and evening operators.
2. Begin patrolling representative roads in all maintenance
classes.
3. Respond to winter events as per the winter operations plan.
Appendix A - Winter Operations Plan 2024/2025
17
Winter Patrol
During the winter maintenance season, the Township of
Springwater carries out a winter patrol on a route of
representative roads as required by the Minimum Maintenance
Standards. Between winter events a patrol of representative
roads will occur during daylight hours and a second night patrol
will also be scheduled.
The purpose of the patrol is to monitor and record weather and
road conditions and mobilize winter maintenance operators,
contractors and equipment should a winter event be observed
and a winter event response is required.
On the approach of a winter event or during a winter event the
route of representative roads may be modified, insofar as
reasonably practicable, depending on the type and severity of
winter event or the direction from which the storm approaches.
The Road Supervisor will be familiar with local conditions in their
patrol area and prepare a condition log of road and weather
conditions as well as any actions taken during the shift. The winter
patrol schedule parallels the designated winter season.
Operations
Staffing and Hours of Work
The Township of Springwater has an operator assigned to each
vehicle used for winter operations. Each vehicle is assigned a
route for winter maintenance. The Township shall use the
optimum mix of its employees, contract staff, seasonal call-in
operators, and contractors for winter maintenance.

Vulnerable Areas
Township of Springwater falls under a Source Water Protection Region.
The Approved Assessment Report delineates areas that are vulnerable to
contamination; these are known as Wellhead Protection Areas (WHPA) for
wells and Intake Protection Zones (IPZ) for the surface water intake.
A WHPA is the area around the wellhead where land use activities have the
greatest potential to affect the quality of the water flowing into the well. An IPZ is
the area of water and land where activities have the potential to affect the quality
of water being taken up by the surface water intake. Sodium and Chloride,
components of road salt and brine, were identified as a Drinking Water Issue.
The Issues Contributing Area is the area of land where drinking water threats
Appendix A - Winter Operations Plan 2024/2025
22
may contribute to a known drinking water issue for the Springwater Water
Supply. Land use activities such as the application, handling, and storage of
road salt and the storage of snow that can release these parameters that are
identified as a Drinking Water Issue within the identified Issues Contributing
Area and are to be considered as Significant Drinking Water Threats.
Weather Monitoring
(1)
From October 1 to April 30, the minimum standard is to
monitor the weather, both current and forecast to occur in the
next 24 hours, once every shift or three times per calendar day,
whichever is more frequent, at intervals determined by the
Municipality.
(2)
From May 1 to September 30, the minimum
standard is to monitor the weather, both current and
forecast to occur in the next 24 hours, once per calendar
day.
In order to determine an effective winter event response
and allocate the appropriate resources the Township of
Springwater supplements road patrol information with
weather information from various sources which includes:
- Observations from municipal staff, communication
with staff of adjacent municipalities and MTO
contractors;
- Monitoring websites www.theweathernetwork.ca;
- Staff also monitors pavement temperatures by means of
on-board infra-red thermometers which are mounted on
the patrol and other trucks, and;
- On Board temperature reading in Road Supervisor or Patroller vehicle.
Communications
All winter maintenance vehicles are equipped with two=way
communications (radios, cell phone, etc.). Municipal staff is
responsible for reporting changing winter weather and/or road
conditions as the changes are observed.
Municipality communicates important information to the public via:
- Media press releases
- Information posted on municipal website: www.Springwater.ca,
- Facebook,
Appendix A - Winter Operations Plan 2024/2025
23
- Twitter, or
- Local radio and/or television
Call Out Procedures
Operational decisions will be made by the Manager, Roads and
Fleet, Road Supervisor, Foreperson, Patroller or his/her designate
with the aid of available forecasting, level of service policy,
patrolling, etc. However, it should be emphasized that decisions
will be subjective and external input, whether in this plan or
elsewhere, are mere aids in determining if a call out of staff,
contractors and equipment by the Road Supervisor or designate to
respond to a winter event is warranted. Therefore, it is vital that the
Road Supervisor or designate records the prevalent conditions
and relevant information when he/she makes a decision.
The Patroller shall inform the Road Supervisor, Operations
Technician or Manager of Roads and Fleet of changing of road
and weather conditions observed in the field. When a winter event
response is required the Road Supervisor or designate will contact
staff as required.
Road Closure Procedures
In the event a road must be closed due to a severe winter storm,
Ontario Provincial Police may request signs be placed to close the
road. Rb-92 Road Closed Signs on portable stands, and
barricades will be available at the patrol yard.
Upon receiving a request from Ontario Provincial Police to close a
road to traffic, the Road Supervisor or his/her designate will
organize manpower and equipment to place the signs and
barricades. The Road Supervisor or his/her designate will contact
the Manager, Rads and Fleet and Communications Officer, and
request that a media release be sent to the local news, radio
stations, and other designated agencies advising of the road
closure.
Roads will be deemed to be closed once the signs and barricades
are placed. When it is physically impossible to place signs and
barricades to close a road, the Road Supervisor or his/her
designate will advise Ontario Provincial Police.
