Winter Storm Policy

Property Damage During Winter Storms and Snow Removal Operations

Winter Storm Policy: Responsibility for fixing/replacing roadside mailboxes, fences, and landscaping.

This policy applies to all Granville residents.

Mailboxes, fences, and landscaping damaged by the snow discharged from a snow plow will be the responsibility of the homeowner.

Mailboxes, fences, and landscaping damaged by contact with the plow will be repaired by the Highway Department.

The Highway Department will make repairs to mailboxes hit by the plow as soon as possible. Many mailboxes are closer to the pavement edge than recommended. Mailboxes that are in poor condition cannot with-stand heavy snow coming off a plow. View the Mailbox Guidelines by the U.S. Postal Service.

Any resident may call my cell phone at (413) 455-4446 to discuss any Highway Department activities. 

The Highway Department can also be reached by email; dpwsuper@townofgranville.org.

 

Thank you,
The Granville Highway Department
