| Department of Public Works |
The DPW crew handles a variety of tasks including brush pick-up, hydrant flushing, patching potholes, building/grounds maintenance, Parkview Cemetery burials and maintenance, and numerous other functions that many people do not even know about!
Next time you see one of our DPW employees, you might want to stop and and introduce yourself and thank them for their hard work as they juggle so many tasks with a small but committed and dedicated workforce.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact the DPW Monday thru Friday at (231) 834-7462 or by e-mail.
