Road Maintenance
ROAD MAINTENANCE - GAGE GUTZMANN, 320-963-5667
Snowplowing: Snowplowing and snow removal is usually done after a storm has ended. During extended periods of snow, exceptions are made. Township maintenance staff work around the clock to assure the roads are open for safe travel. The Township uses two to three plow units to facilitate the snow removal. It is a violation of state law M.S. 160.27 to plow snow onto or across Township roads or any other road. All garbage and recycling containers should be off the road. If a plow comes through and damages one, the Township WILL NOT be responsible.
Road Grading: Grading of roads is usually done after a soaking rain. Township maintenance staff takes great pride in grading and compacting the roads to assure a smooth, safe surface. The Township spreads 3,000 – 5,000 yards of new gravel each year to roads on a rotating basis.
Other Maintenance: The Township performs many other maintenance duties throughout the year. The weeds on the shoulders are mowed, culverts are maintained or replaced, ditches are cleaned for proper drainage and the removal of illegal dumping. The brush is kept to a minimum by mowing it. Road projects are overseen by the Road Supervisors.
