CBMC members must use the new reservation system which is accessed on our website at
snowplow reservations. We are not using Amelia this year and there is a simple form accessed through the website. You will select your address, dates of service, and request an email confirmation. On the front page of the website there will be a link to the reservation page. You must be logged in so that your email will be linked to your reservation.

* Provider will remove snow 36 inches from the garage door, bear boxes, and other structures. Members will have to shovel the remaining snow for access.

* The provider will inspect staking before the season and notify any members of inadequate placement.
* Members may negotiate directly with the provider for snow staking services.
* The street address should be clearly visible when there is 5 feet or more of snow. If the address can’t be seen the provider may have difficulty providing service. This is also significant for any emergency services.

Other Notes
Our contract provides for one plow per day. If that service is performed in the morning and you or your renters or guests do not arrive until evening, and it has snowed all day, please be aware that some shoveling may be required. It is prudent to have a snow shovel handy for such times.
Members may negotiate with provider directly for additional snow removal service beyond the Standard Service Level.
We look forward to the upcoming winter and wish all CBMC Members a safe and enjoyable season and please contact the winter committee with any questions on this process.
