Public Works & Infrastructure

Plowing, sanding, sweeping, and pothole repair are provided by the town for town roads only. 

• Pothole repairs typically begin after winter, once the ground has thawed and the roads have settled from frost heaves. This helps ensure lasting repairs and safer driving conditions. 
• Street sweeping is scheduled to begin at the end of April, weather permitting. We want to reassure residents that street sweeping is planned in advance following winter, but timing may be adjusted due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we work to keep our roads clean and safe. 
•  Driveway culvert maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the property owner. The Town does not maintain or repair culverts located within private driveways. 

If you have any questions, please submit your questions to rchandler@winterharborme.org
