The Village of Pewaukee only assumes responsibility for mailboxes damaged by direct contact with plow equipment.

The operator is often aware of such contact and will document the incident for follow-up. If the snow load (the load of the snow rolling off of the plow) causes the damage, the Village will not assume responsibility for the damage.

It is illegal to place any snow back into the street, regardless of whether or not it came from your driveway apron, the street, or elsewhere in the right-of-way such as the sidewalk.
