Maintenance
Swancreek Township Maintenance Department maintain roads, township ditches and tiles, and our 5 cemeteries;
Swanton, Raker, St. John’s, Shiloh, & Keene.

Tiles & Catch Basins—
2007 was very rainy thus causing a lot of flooding, as well as all the rain and snow we have received already this winter.
ORC only allows the Board of Trustees to maintain the drainage for the water runoff from the township roads.  
Our maintenance department has been working very hard to maintain the ditches, tiles and catch basins.  If you have a
need for assistance, please call us at 419-822-5641.

Right of way—
All roads have a right of way that can vary from 40’ to 60’.  This right of way is owned by the entity that maintains your
road.  Thus giving them access to run drainage and allowing utilities to run their lines.  A driveway permit is required for
all new driveways or existing drives that are going to be paved with asphalt or concrete.  There is no fee for this permit,
however, Tim Lambert, Maintenance Supervisor, will access the driveway request and issue the permit upon inspection.

Deceased Animals on roadways—
Please be advised that unless it is a very large animal such as a deer, Swancreek Twp. does not remove them.  

** PLEASE NOTE**  It is the policy of Swancreek Township that mailboxes are replaced only if it is physically
hit with the snow removal vehicle, not when it is hit with the snow or damaged because of snow
accumulation.
