Auburn Township maintains 54 miles of roads. In addition to snow plowing, you will see the Road Department doing culvert work, ditching , asphalt patching and roadside mowing.

The Township equipment list includes five plowing trucks, two tractor/mowers – one mows roadsides and the other helps maintain township grounds, a backhoe, an asphalt roller, a rubber tire excavator and a road grader  in addition to various support equipment.   Auburn does a great deal of its own maintenance thanks to a dedicated and efficient road department crew.

An easement exists, generally from the centerline of the road or street, 30′ in either direction. This is the road right-of-way. The Township maintains the infrastructure within this easement which includes the road surface, ditching, culvert pipes and/or drainage structures.

What is the purpose of ditches?

Ditches are for the evacuation of water from road surface and the drainage of the road bed to ensure the base of the road remains in tact and does not become saturated which will in turn cause road failure. Therefore, residents are encouraged to keep the ditch area cleared of large stones, fences, trees, and other obstructions. Obstructions in this road right-of-way may need to be removed for road maintenance or safety issues. It is important the ditches remain unobstructed.

We address concerns in the order as received and prioritize depending on the severity of the issue and/or if it is compromising the integrity of our infrastructure.

Auburn’s two cemeteries have an honored role in the annual Memorial Day Services.  Please contact the Administration office to inquire about this year’s Memorial Day event.
