Only mailboxes that are directly struck by a city vehicle or piece of equipment will be eligible for replacement. Residents must notify the Public Works Department within three days of the occurrence. Upon notification, a representative from the city public works department will inspect the mailbox and determine whether or not the mailbox was properly installed, whether the material was in good condition, and if it was struck by a city vehicle. While it is being assessed, a temporary mailbox will be erected. Mailbox damage caused by snow being propelled into the air from a plow truck will not be eligible for replacement.  Full ordinances and standards are available on the city website in the services section or the public works page.
