The Road Department has the responsibility of maintaining the 80 miles of roads in the Town. This includes plowing and sanding in the winter and patching, crack filling, mowing roadsides, cutting trees and brush, and mowing the ditches in the summer. The road crew is also responsible for the maintenance of the 80 acres of park land we have. This includes mowing, trimming, playground equipment maintenance, caring for the baseball fields and any other problem that arises.

Snow Plowing
Snow plowing begins when the snowfall exceeds one inch and is performed by an experienced crew. The Township is divided into four sections with one man responsible for each section. The major roads are plowed and sanded first, then the secondary streets and parking lots are next.

Mailbox installation instruction
The Town is asking property owners to ensure that their mailboxes are the proper distance from the paved surface. Attached is a diagram showing the proper height and location of the mailbox from the pavement. Please examine your mailbox and if necessary relocate your box to the proper location. Please be aware that a mailbox and support post should not pose a hazard to vehicles. An acceptable support post for a single mailbox would include wood posts 4" x 4" square or 4.5" in diameter. Soft metal conduits which are 1.5" to 2.5" in diameter are also acceptable. For multiple mailbox installations please contact the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their recommendations. Your letter carrier should not have to leave the pavement to put letters in your mailbox. Thank you for your cooperation.
