WHAT TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE SOD/ LAWN DAMAGE FROM THE PLOWS DUE TO SNOWSTORMS - Sod/lawn damage can happen even under the best of circumstances & care of the operators. The most common types of sod/lawn damage occur in the Town right- of-way (boulevard), which normally extends approximately 10-15 feet beyond the curb. The intent of this right-of-way is to provide room for snow storage, utilities, sidewalks & other public or Town authorized use. If damage does occur, report it on our website by visiting https://www.whitebeartownship.org/455/Re- port-It. Please note the following: Lawns that are scraped or gouged by Town equipment will be placed on a list & repaired with topsoil & seed when topsoil becomes available & staff time permits. We ask for your patience. Residents who request that the boulevard be repaired are requested to assist by watering the repaired areas.
