Statement: Winter Maintenance
01/29/2025
Statement from the Township Public Works Department:
Township plows are out in full force.
With today's high winds it makes it very challenging to keep the roads clear. Staff are doing everything possible to clear the roads as quickly and safely as possible.
Please be patient, give plows time and space to work.
If you have to go out, drive according to the conditions and allow extra time to get to your destination.
Remember we all have someone waiting at home for us!
Second Statement, regarding Snow Fencing:
There have been inquiries about snow fencing, which can help when used in the right settings. However, when the winds are as strong as they have been, they don’t work well. Also, when snow accumulates in drifts beside the fences, they don't work well.
The majority of the Township is rural, wide open fields. Winter is upon us, please drive with caution and according to conditions. Stay safe everyone!
