Public Works

The Public Works Department consists of a Director, an Assistant Director, two mechanics, two building attendants, and 16 support employees.

They maintain over 152 lane miles of roadway, including municipal and state-owned highways.

Our two mechanics maintain, inspect and repair 24 police department vehicles, 16 eight-ton salt/dump trucks, one front loader, one backhoe, 31 lightweight vehicles, 15 lawn tractors, and park maintenance equipment.

Snow and Ice Removal

Public Works maintains a fleet of 16 eight-ton salt trucks and a front loader specific for snow and ice events.  The normal response time to apply a mixture of salt and liquid materials is approximately two to three hours.  If the snow event is over two to three inches, the timeline to clear all roadways increases significantly since we will pass each roadway three to four times to plow the snow and open roadways.  In addition to municipal roadways, the municipality is under contract and responsible for clearing all state roadways of snow and ice.  The list of state roadways are:

We have 13 designated routes that drivers follow that include main roads to be cleared first, then secondary roads, then dead-end streets last.

Municipal residents are reminded that it is unlawful to plow or shovel snow onto a roadway or plow snow acrossPlow trucks municipal streets.  Please do not park on roadways during a snow event.  This makes it dangerous for our road crews to clear the snow and ice from municipal streets safely.
