Important Snow and Ice Removal Reminder
Snow Plow Action Items & Safety Protocols
- Remove cars from the street and cul-de-sacs during a snow event
- Don't crowd the plow
- Stay at least four car lengths back from a snowplow, and never pass a plow
- Drive slower, brake sooner
- Stay off electronic devices
- Stay off the roads during severe snow events, if possible
- If it snows on garbage day, DO NOT put the totes in the street - leave them at the end of the driveway.
- Outdoor enthusiasts are encouraged to wear LED lights and vests so they are visible to plow drivers

"Light Up" Cuba Township
Days are shorter and we want our residents safe when walking, running, and cycling. We highly recommend reflective gear and bike/running lights, so you will "light up" as motorists pass you by.
Mailbox Check
Be sure to check your mailbox post before the snow begins. Most mailboxes knocked over during a snow event are commonly due to weak bases.
Self-Serve Mulch
Self-serve mulch is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The mulch pile is next to the textile recycling bin in the same lot as the road salt.
Driveway Alert for Unincorporated Homeowners
If you are a homeowner in unincorporated Lake County and planning to put in a new driveway over an existing culvert, contact the Cuba Township Road District to inspect the culvert.
Instruction for Trees or Limbs Touching Utility Lines or Power Outages
If you have issues with trees or limbs touching utility lines, contact the utility company directly. The Township cannot trim trees or limbs within 10 feet of utility lines.
If trees are blocking the road, dial 911.
