Village of Elkhart Lake Street Maintenance

On an annual basis the Village completes street maintenance projects which include crack filling, seal coating, overlay, grind and overlay, or reconstruction. The Village prides itself on the maintenance of our infrastructure. If you see issues with roadways or pot holes please contact the Village Public Works Department at 920-876-2231.

Village of Elkhart Lake Snow Plowing

A variety of factors contribute to the methods and process of each snow/ice removal operation in the Village. Varying conditions such as the time of day, the rate of accumulation, the temperature, and wind speed and direction play a role in determining how quickly and effectively the roads can be cleared. Removal of snow and ice are the responsibility of the Public Works Department. Other operations become secondary to snow removal during and immediately after a winter storm. The Village warns all drivers to take caution when driving in winter weather conditions, as the road and weather conditions can change rapidly.

Snow Removal from Sidewalks & Hydrants

Residents must clean the snow from the entire width of their sidewalks within 14 hours of any snowfall in a 24-hour period, according to Village Ordinance 10.03. The snow cannot be blown or plowed onto the Village streets. Residents must also shovel any fire hydrants located near their home.

Winter Parking Restrictions

Village of Elkhart Lake Ordinance 6.02 restricts parking on the streets during the winter months to enable the snow plows to clear the roads. There is no parking on any Village street, or within six feet of the edge/curb of the street from 2:00 am to 6:00 am from the 15th of November to the 1st of April. The Village also limits parking in the Village lots as posted. These restrictions are in effect regardless of the weather or temperature. The cost of a winter parking violation is $25, which increases to $40 after 10 days.

Be sure to let any late night-overnight guests know about these parking restrictions. If unusual circumstances prevent you from moving a vehicle, please call the Village Police Department at 920-876-2244 to notify them. They can review your options with you.

If you have any concerns about the streets or snow plowing, please contact the Village Public Works Department at 920-876-2231.
