Service Spotlight

Quite a few residents have asked: What are the extra Service Department employees doing since they are no longer on the garbage truck?

To clear up any confusion, the City did not hire three extra Service employees, but rather reassigned the three employees who were working on the garbage truck.  Actually, we have fewer employees in the Service Department today, only 10 employees, than we had several years ago.  Our reassigned employees are working on infrastructure projects, which have gone unaddressed for several years.  This year alone they have replaced or worked on 8 catch basins; 5 fire hydrants; 14 water service repairs; and 2 sanitary manhole reconstructions.  Check out our recent video on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Brookville45309/ to see the clean up and reconstruction work that took place on East Campus Blvd with our new E35 Bobcat mini excavator.

Additionally, City crews installed 18 tons of new asphalt in October in areas of extreme failure.  Our Service Department employees do a great job maintaining our parks, City facilities, water lines, the sewer plant, and much more.  Thank you Service Department for a job well done!
