Watch: Puyallup Street De-Icing in Action

The slopes and hills of Puyallup can be treacherous in winter months, but the city Street Division works hard to keep things moving safely on local roadways. 

Crews often pre-treat the roadway with anti- and de-icing chemicals to prevent snow and ice from accumulating and sticking to the pavement.

With over 200 miles under their supervision, Puyallup crews have the following tools at their disposal:

• 4 Plow/Sander vehicles
• 3 Salt Brine vehicles
• 2 Road graders

If compact snow or black ice form, the street crews apply pre-wet sand or salt to help make plowing more effective.
