Road Department

Residents are responsible for keeping their drive pipes clean and free of debris. Please clean out pipes to keep the ditches flowing. Call and report any serious road problem, flooding on roads, fallen limbs or other hazard the township should be aware of. Residents may leave a message at 440-636-5486 option 1.

Crack sealing, ditching, grading, roadside mowing and applying gravel are ongoing maintenance services. Be aware Huntsburg Township will not pay for car repairs or blown tires due to road conditions. Drivers must drive according to road conditions, which means drive a little slower to avoid road hazards. Speed limits are posted on roads.

Do not put leaves in the ditches and do not burn them in the ditches. Debris blocks culvert and drive pipes.
