PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works Providing Roads, Sewers, Lights and Park Maintenance:
Public Works is responsible for maintaining roadways, ditches, entrance culverts, curbs and gutters on a year-round basis. In-ground storm and sanitary sewer systems provide for the Town’s drainage and sanitation needs.Environmental Protection Through Waste Management:
Public Works provides municipal waste management through refuse collection and landfill management. A contract with a recycling company enables our community to reduce the waste that we put in our local landfill. All of these activities contribute to a cleaner environment for Latchford.Spring:
You will see our Public Works department clearing the last of the snow and repairing any damage to lawns and preparing the flower beds for planting.Summer:
Construction activities will be in full swing with maintenance and or repairs to the roadways, sewers and cleaning of ditches and preventative maintenance with sewer flushing to avoid long-term problems. Any issues with the street and lights adjacent to your property or in your neighbourhood are addressed.Fall:
Fall brings an end to the construction and we prepare for the upcoming winter season, replenishing sand and salt for winter maintenance and ensuring the snow removal equipment is ready to go in case of that first surprise snow storm.Winter:
Public works serves the Town with around-the-clock operations when it comes to snow plowing, snow removal, sanding and salting. Public buildings have their doorways cleared of snow and extra sand or salt are applied as needed. Fire hydrants are kept clear of snow and require extra care with hand shoveling. Please keep in mind the Public Works crews are clearing the snow for you. Be patient and give them room to their job.Each season change brings different responsibilities to Public Works.
