PLOWS AND SOD DAMAGE
The Township occasionally receives calls from residents who have had the sod removed from their yard by the plow. Sod damage is the result of two factors:
- The roadway plow operator may have difficulty finding the edge of the road under a blanket of snow, or
- The ground may not be frozen when the plows go by.
Once a path is cleared, subsequent trips by the plow are made easier. If the sod was damaged during the first pass of the season, then the damage may not be discovered until the snow melts.
Residents can either repair the damage themselves in the spring or they can report it to Public Works Department and once the winter season is over, staff will undertake these repairs.
You can contact the Public Works Department at 613-925-4231 ext. 301 or email mmoore@augusta.ca.
