Roads Maintenance
The District of Peachland requires property owners and residents to maintain the boulevard(s) and lane adjacent to their property for the beautification of our town, the enjoyment of all and to reduce the risk of fire. Boulevard and lane maintenance includes such aspects as watering, weeding, mowing grasses and keeping lanes free of litter and waste.
The District does not provide this service and does not include any funds in the budget for such work.
- Ensure the culvert in front of your home is clear at all times.
Please do not dispose of grass clippings in the ditches as this will minimize the storage capacity of the culvert and will create overflow situations when there is snow melting or if a flash storm occurs. - If you notice a problem that you cannot manage, please contact the Operations office at 250-767-2108.
The Operations Department is responsible for road repairs.
Asphalt paving is performed by firms under contract with the District.
Pothole and minor maintenance patching are performed by District of Peachland Operations crews. Larger service patches, road paving and overlays are done by contract and a tender process.

Street Sweeping Services are contracted to the District of Peachland. The annual street sweeping program will begin in spring (March/April) Weather permitting, the project will start in the downtown area and proceed up into the residential areas.
The Downtown core, main streets or "arterials" are completed first. Street sweeping priorities are based on the volumes of vehicle traffic on roadways where winter road sand may generate excessive dust.
Prepare for the Spring Sweeping
Property owners are encouraged to sweep all debris that may be on the sidewalk that borders your property before the roads are swept by the street sweepers. Your cooperation in removing all vehicles from the street to enable the street sweepers to clean the entire street is greatly appreciated. By doing this we can avoid having those annoying missed spots in your neighborhood.

The District's goal is to control weeds and grasses which may impair traffic visibility, damage road asphalt surfaces, cause safety issues for pedestrians and for aesthetic purposes.
