Road Snow Plowing
The Winnebago County Highway Department plows town roads as the Town Contactor. As a general rule, streets are plowed in the order of how much traffic each carries. For example, I-41 has the highest priority, and State roads are second in priority, County Trunk Highways are next, then main arterials, local roads, etc. The County does not plow private roads as these are the responsibility of the residents living on them.
Personal Snow Blowing
Per Town Ordinance 13.06(2): No person shall plow, shovel, blow or place snow across any town road into any ditch.
Per Town Ordinance 13.06(5): Any person violating the provisions above will be subject to forfeiture of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) and not more than $200.00. In addition, any costs associated with remedial action will be charged to the violator.
