Private Roads Committee: The Town of West Bend is organizing a “Private Roads Committee” beginning in September. First meeting will be Spring 2025. The Committee objective will be focused on the development of a new ordinance designed to regulate the maintenance, improvements and safety of all private roads within the Town of West Bend. Individuals interested in volunteering for this committee are asked to be property owners along a private road within the town. Depending on the number of committee volunteers, we could end up limiting the number of participants from each road to ensure that all private roads can be represented. Individuals interested in volunteering, please contact Julie Ihlenfeld at the Town Hall. Thank You for your interest.
