Posted on March 2, 2021 by Andrew Stemp

Spring weight restrictions go into effect for the town of Doty this Friday at 3:00 pm (March 5th) on all town roads. County weight restrictions also go in effect at this time for posted county roads. Town weight limits will remain in effect until the spring thaw is complete and roads can handle normal vehicle weights. A permit is required (with certain exceptions listed on the Oconto County website) to exceed town weight limits. Contact the town roads superintendent – John Vandenlangenberg at (715) 850-1775 for a permit to exceed weight limits on town roads.

Emergency Alert 04-01-2025: Power outages continue. The portion of the town south of the Town Hall is without power. There are also scattered outages in the rest of the town, mainly in the Star Lake area. WPS estimates all will have power by 7 pm on April 3rd. The town hall is open today until 8pm for warmth, water, shower facilities and electric power. We are evaluating the need to open tomorrow and Thursday. Other towns have shelters available too, check their websites. Several inches of snow are expected tonight, changing to rain in the morning. If trees come down, contact the chairman at 608 772-6098 or 911 if power lines are involved or it is life threatening.
