Snow Removal Information

Watab Township would like to remind everyone, including commercial snow removal operators, that it is against state law to deposit snow, in any fashion, onto a public roadway.

Minnesota Statute 160.2715 prohibits the plowing, blowing, shoveling or otherwise placing of snow from sidewalks, driveways and parking lots onto public roadways.

The placement of snow on the roadway can cause unsafe conditions which contribute to motor vehicle or pedestrian accidents. It can also damage snow plowing equipment.

We appreciate your cooperation in making our roads safe for everyone.

Any complaints or comments regarding the maintenance of Watab Township roads

should be addressed to the Township Board Supervisors and NOT to the operators of maintenance equipment.  Supervisors will take care of any corrective measures that are deemed necessary.
