SNOW REMOVAL
PROPERTY OWNER
The practice of leaving piles or ridges of snow on public highways after plowing private driveways or parking lots creates a hazard for the traveling public and creates a problem for our road plowing operation. In case of an accident due to these piles of snow you could be held liable for personal injury or damage to vehicles. To alleviate this problem the Town of Rockland would ask property owners to store snow from private properties on private property for everyone’s safety.
It is illegal for any person to leave deposits of any type materials on highways under Wisconsin Statutes, 86.01, 86.07, & 346.94(5). The Town of Rockland must report all violations to the proper authorities and you may be liable for a forfeiture of up to $200.00. We request and appreciate your cooperation regarding this matter.
