Plowing or snow blowing into the street is unsafe and against the law

Town plows will remove snow as close to mailboxes as possible, however, the detailed removal around the box is the homeowner’s responsibility.

In the spring and summer season the workers inspect and maintain all town roads and bridges, repair culverts, remove brush, and mow road shoulders.

In the fall season, winter preparations are underway. Sand is stockpiled and plows and sanders are installed on the trucks.
