The City of Broken Arrow is prepared for the forecast of winter weather, with a possibility of rain, sleet, wind, and ice expected to move through the area early Friday morning.
The Streets Department will pre-treat all city bridges with brine before the end of business on Thursday, and 13 dump trucks will be fueled and loaded with salt in preparation for Friday's weather event.
Broken Arrow Streets crews will begin treating the arterial roads with salt after the first shift of employees report for work at 12 a.m. Friday. Once snow begins to accumulate, the crews will transition to plowing operations. After the arterial roads have been cleared of snow and the snowfall has ceased, all arterial roads will be treated again with salt to prevent refreezing.
The city's Utilities Department crews are ready to address potential waterline breaks. Citizens are encouraged to call 918-258-3587 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday or 918-259-8400 after hours to report water line breaks. All pumps and generators at the Water and Wastewater plants have been winterized and are also prepared for the extreme weather conditions.
Broken Arrow Police Department will follow normal patrol operations. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly to ensure they arrive at their destination safely.
Broken Arrow Fire Department will follow normal operations but will be prepared for hazardous road conditions with chains for apparatus and traction devices for firefighters’ boots.
City offices such as City Hall, community centers, Public Safety Complex, Animal Shelter, etc. will open to the public late on Friday at 10 a.m.
