Public Works
The Village of North Aurora Public Works Department is committed to maintaining and enhancing the Villages infrastructure. Improvements include streets, storm and sanitary sewer lines, Village owned property, buildings and grounds, street lighting, traffic signals and signs, purchase of equipment and materials.
Public Works provides ongoing public services such as snow plowing, landscaping, curb and sidewalk repairs, mosquito control, and right-of way tree maintenance. Our goal is to serve the community in the most efficient way and provide the best possible services to the citizens of North Aurora. The day-day operations of the Department are overseen by the Superintendent of Public Works.
The Department has 9 employees. It is responsible for approximately 40 miles of sanitary sewer main and 20 miles of storm sewer and approximately 60 miles of municipal streets, alleys, right-of-way and sidewalks. The Department operates out of the Public Works Facility located at 314 Butterfield Rd. You can reach Mike Glock, the Superintendent of Public Works at

Mailbox Policy During Snow Removal
Mailboxes will be replaced at the Villages expense only if a snowplow hits the mailbox. At this time, the driver of the plow will report it to the Superintendent of Public Works for repair or replacement. All replacement mailboxes will be a standard metal box and a treated 4 x 4 post. If a decorative or different mailbox is desired the extra cost will be up to the homeowner.
Mailboxes will not be repaired or replaced by the Village if the mailbox is damaged due to snow coming from the plow. If the force of snow does damage to the mailbox it would mean that the mailbox was defective before the snow hit it, therefore the Village is not responsible.
Standards for Replacement of Mailboxes by Homeowners
If a mailbox is damaged and needs to be replaced, the Village is asking that they be installed in the following standards: Mailboxes or supporting structures shall be installed or maintained, within but not closer, than 9"- 12" from edge of the street pavement or the back of the street curb where such curb exists.
It is the responsible of the homeowner to clean around mailboxes to assure mail delivery in heavy events.
If you should have any questions, please call the North Aurora Public Works Department at 897-1457 ext. 230. Your cooperation on this matter is greatly appreciated.
