If your roadside mailbox is damaged as a result of snow plowing, the village will replace it only if damaged directly by a village/Nunda owned and operated snowplow. If the damage was caused by the windrow (wall of flying snow) hurled by a passing plow, the village will not repair or replace it. It should be able to withstand the force, weight, and sweep of snow flung by the passing plow. Replacement of mailboxes damaged as a result of being struck by a village/Nunda plow will be with a standard unit set on a Weather treated 4X4 wooden post. Please bear in mind, however that since the village/Nunda crews are often frequently committed to several consecutive days of plowing and salting, downed mailboxes cannot be replaced immediately. In that case you will have to pick up your mail at the post office until your box is back in place.
Please fill out the House Watch form and return to the Holiday Hills Police Department.
