The Public Works Department oversees drainage and engineering issues within the town limits.  Development plans are reviewed by this office to insure adequate drainage, roadway sight distance, traffic control, parking, etc.  Permits are issued for drive approaches, street cuts, grading, and other types of work performed on town streets or in right-of-ways.

Public Works Street Division
The Street Division is responsible for roadway maintenance on town owned streets, as well as drainage ditches, storm drains and storm  pipe in town right-of-ways and easements.  The Division has a street sweeper and one flusher truck for street cleaning and provides snow and ice removal during inclement weather.  Street signage, leaf collection, mowing, and construction of small drainage projects are a few of the responsibilities of the Street Division.  The Street Division provides an annual leaf collection in the fall (usually late October and November).  Residents can rake their leaves out to the curb and leaf vacuums will come by to collect them.  This is done on a schedule determined by the Public Works Department and published in the local newspaper during leaf collection season.
