The Road Department has the responsibility of maintaining the 80 miles of roads in the Town. This includes plowing and sanding in the winter and patching, crack filling, mowing roadsides, cutting trees and brush, and mowing the ditches in the summer. The road crew is also responsible for the maintenance of the 80 acres of park land we have. This includes mowing, trimming, playground equipment maintenance, caring for the baseball fields and any other problem that arises.
There are four full time employees and one part time employee every summer at the Road Department. Heavy equipment the road department uses consists of four 5-yard dump trucks, a one-ton dump truck, two pickup trucks, five tractors for mowing, a rubber tire end-loader, a back hoe, and a road grader.
Snow Plowing
Snow plowing begins when the snowfall exceeds one inch and is performed
by an experienced crew. The Township is divided into four sections
with one man responsible for each section. The major roads are plowed
and sanded first , then the secondary streets and parking lots are next.
