Palatine Township

Miscellaneous Maintenance

Traffic Signs

-We erect and maintain most of the stop, speed-limit, and caution signs on Township right-of-way. Signs are inspected each month. If you notice a missing sign, please notify this office so we may quickly replace the sign and avoid potential accidents.

Blacktop Patching

-Potholes are filled as required.

Crack Sealing

-By preventing water from seeping into the road, base pavement life is prolonged.

Roadside Mowing

-We mow rural area right-of-ways 4-5 times per season. We are also contracted to mow Cook County parkways as well as our own.

Street Sweeping

-Subdivision with curbs and gutters are swept once per year, with special sweepings following construction projects.

Storm Sewer Maintenance

-Storm sewer basins are cleaned as needed. Inlet grates in the street are inspected and cleaned during and after most rainstorms. You may have an inlet on your property. It is your responsibility to keep the grate and basin clean. If you suspect a problem with your backyard inlet, please call this office. Although the inlet and sewer is not within Township Jurisdiction, we may be able to help solve your problem.
