Does the Town plow and sand my road?
The DPW plows all roads in Mashpee, including private roads, provided the road is in good repair. The DPW will not plow roads in such disrepair that they may damage equipment.
If a private road is not in good repair it will be placed on the "Do Not Plow List" in accordance with Town Policy no. 014 adopted by the Board of Selectmen in 1999. Each year the Department of Public Works performs inspections of private roads to ensure they are in good repair. Residents will be notified by local newspaper publications and Mashpee website of this list. Residents will be notified in advance of the winter season allowing for ample time to make the necessary repairs. Once these repairs are made residents may contact the Department of Public Works at 508-539-1420. Once notified, the Department of Public Works will re-inspect the road and remove it from the "Do Not Plow List" as warranted.
The DPW treats all roads except those on the "Do Not Plow List". The DPW does not plow or sand driveways including the access drives within a condominium or other multi-family development
