Tree Removal & Other Maintenance

Tree Removal

Trees that are dead on the Township road right-of-way are marked in the summer or early fall and then removed during the winter season. The Township does not prune or trim trees.

Right-of-way

Usually 33' from the pavement centerline. R.O.W.'s are for the exclusive use of the Township and Utilities and are not to be used by the homeowners for items such as fences (including invisible dog fences), plantings, additional drainage or decorative landscape. Do not use the road pavement or R.O.W. for dumping gravel, mulch, black dirt, etc. All materials and/or equipment should be on the homeowner's property.

Traffic Signs

We erect and maintain most of the stop, speed limit and caution signs on Township rights-of-way. Stop signs are inspected weekly and other signs are inspected each month. If you notice a missing sign, please notify this office so we may quickly replace it and avoid potential accidents.

 

 

Asphalt Patching

Potholes are filled as required.

 

 

 

 

 

Mowing

We mow rural area rights-of-way 4-5 times per season. We are also contracted to mow DuPage County parkways.

Ditch Work

Not all ditches need to be re-ditched. This work is performed all summer long. Ditching is scheduled by the area (subdivision), not by the address. You will be put on the ditch list when you call.

 

 

Litter Pick-up

Performed as necessary.
