Service Requests

As you come across potholes, contact us with a good description of where they are -- nearest address, distance from intersection, what side of the road, etc. We can always use another set of “eyes” out there!

Report road problems to 231-922-4848 or email us at:  gtcrc@gtcrc.org 

Winter Preparedness

We are gearing up for winter. Our winter sand pile is nearly as tall as as our salt barn.  Sander boxes, spreaders and blades are being installed as our trucks change gears from summer to winter operations.

There is still time to check your furnace and its filters, smoke detectors, chimneys and mailboxes.  The often-overlooked mailbox needs to be checked, too.  Click here for a quick overview on mailbox winter survival tips - a few minutes of inspection and repair could save hours of outdoor repairs and lost/damaged mail.

Snowfall summary is as follows:

November 2011 2.5"

December 2011 2.75"

January 2012 48.50" for a season total of 53.75"

Check the snowfall detail amounts here.
