SPRING CLEANUPSpring is the season residents cleanup their yards. Do not burn yard debris on the road. Fire will weaken the blacktop and eventually cause a pot hole. Burning on the road is a public safety issue and is against the law. We have had several incidents of burning on new blacktop. Unincorporated residents, please follow the new McHenry County Open Burning Ordinance.
WOOD CHIPS AVAILABLE
Later this spring, wood chips will be available at no cost to Township residents for landscaping and gardening use. The Road District dumps truckloads of wood chips in the southeast corner of the McHenry Township Recreation Center’s parking lot, 3519 N. Richmond Road, behind the Moose Lodge. Please help yourself.
DRIVEWAY CULVERTS
Now that Spring is here, you may be thinking about having your driveway resurfaced. Remember it only takes a phone call, and we will be happy to come out and evaluate your driveway culvert. It doesn’t make any sense to put new pavement over a rusted out culvert. If we determine the culvert needs to be replaced, we will furnish a new culvert of equal size.
SANDBAGS FOR FLOODING
McHenry County Emergency Services has provided the Road District with sandbags for pickup by residents when needed. Be aware that in an emergency, bags will be available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. With one day advance notice, we will provide sand. Call 815-385-3076. |
