Winter Mailbox Preparation

Prepare for winter by inspecting your mailbox and post and, if necessary, repair or replace them prior to winter. With daily exposure to the elements, mailboxes and their posts can deteriorate over time and may not be able to withstand the rigors of Wisconsin’s snow, freezing rain and high winds. The Public Works Department will reimburse for damaged mailboxes if they are hit directly by Village snowplows but cannot be responsible for mailboxes and/or posts that are so weak that the weight of plowed snow or slush simply pushes them over.
