Q. When will my street be paved?

The Public Works department has a set of standard erosion control notes for all construction plans.  Designers please include these notes with your plans.

Public works has recently purchased new equipment to better assist with keeping the roads safe, adding a de-icer sprayer, de-icer storage of 275 gallons and two additional plows. The city has also purchased a smaller plow for use in residential areas. On top of that, public works crews have recently received winter weather training.

The Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) program exists to reduce/eliminate sanitary sewer overflows. The leading preventable cause of non-weather related sanitary sewer overflows nation-wide has been build-up and blockages from FOG material restricting the flow of sewage. Blocked or restricted sewer pipes can cause raw sewage to back up into homes or businesses, or overflow into streets and streams.
