The township has had to replace about 30 mailboxes damaged by snow plows this season.

This year’s rash of heavy snow storms has forced the township to so far spend about 2.5 times the average in snow removal costs.

This year’s cost is about $310,000, said township manager Bob Vornlocker. The yearly average, he said, is about $125,000.
