Public Works Department - Policy regarding break-away mailbox installation

You MUST call "Gopher State One Call" before you do any digging. Why? City right-of-ways are the areas provided for the placement of Public Utilities - electric, gas, phone, water, sewer, and cable TV.

Before you dig, call "Gopher State One Call" toll free at 1-800-252-1166.

Do not attach to utility poles or other public utility structures. A minimum of twelve feet in all directions from fire hydrants must be maintained

Mailboxes which are set back a minimum of six inches from the gutter cannot be struck by plowing equipment. All supports must be of sufficient strength to withstand the pressure of snow being pushed against them and constructed of material that will not quickly deteriorate, i.e. treated lumber, iron, etc... Mailboxes must be maintained so they will withstand all weather conditions. Snow must be removed by the postal patron. The City of Le Sueur will assume "no fault" for hitting a curbside mailbox during snow removal procedures.
