Keeping Somerset’s streets safe during inclement weather

Snow and ice removal in Somerset is a combined effort by the various departments within the city. The street department is responsible for the coordination of the departments as we ensure that our 200-plus lane miles of streets are treated.

Our goal is to remove snow and ice from our roadways as rapidly and efficiently as possible to allow traffic to move safely throughout the city.

Annual leaf collection

Leaf collection begins each year in October. The City of Somerset picks up leaves for our residents as they report them to our street department (606.679.1106). For safety, we ask our residents to follow a few simple rules as they gather the leaves on their property:

  • Do not obstruct drains, catch basins, sidewalks or place leaves in the street.
  • Leaves must be free of limbs, rocks or other household trash.
  • Do not rake leaves into the street, gutter line, around parked cars or around fire hydrants.
