BROKEN MAILBOX POST
Palmer Township will first attempt to repair broken mailbox posts. If the post is broken beyond repair, it will be replaced with a pressure-treated 4' x 4' mailbox post kit. A cedar 4' x 4' mailbox
kit is available for the replacement of a cedar, metal, plastic, or other material
post which is more expensive than a pressure-treated post. If a resident is not satisfied with what the township provides, he/she may purchase his/her own post kit and submit the paid receipt to the township. The township will then reimburse the resident an amount equal to the cost of our standard replacement post kit.
BROKEN MAILBOX
Palmer Township will first attempt to repair the mailbox. If the mailbox is damaged beyond repair, the township will replace it with a standard plastic or metal mailbox. If a resident is not satisfied with the replacement the township
provides, he/she may purchase his/her own mailbox and submit the paid receipt to the township. The township
will then reimburse the resident an amount equal to the cost of our standard
replacement mailbox.
If it is determined that the original placement of the mailbox post possibly led to it being damaged, such as the mailbox itself protruding in the cart way, township crews will adjust the placement of the new post to help prevent future damage.
YARD DAMAGE BY SNOWPLOWS
Property owners who identify the edge of the roadway with a vertical
marking device: (Examples: Metal posts with a reflector on the top, wooden stakes, metal re-bar, or other device placed at regular intervals along the edge of roadway
that will be visible to the snowplow operator. This device should be a minimum
of 36" tall.)
Within a reasonable amount of time following the end of a snow event, Palmer Township will pick up any snowplow damaged yard material that remains. In the spring, Palmer Township will restore the area damaged by placing new topsoil and reseeding the affected area.
Property owners who DO NOT identify the edge of the roadway with a marking device: Palmer Township will not be responsible for any damage to these properties.
