Re: Monthly Report- March 2010
During the month of March we have been working hard on preparing the road areas
where the water main rvas installed... Since the weather has allowed us to begin early
this year we have taken advantage by repairing some of the soft areas throughout the road
areas on the Parkway, Hanshaw, and Highgate Rd's... These were areas that was planned
to revisit prior to paving, and we knew that some of these trouble areas would exist... We
have also started the process ofaddressing underground repairs that need to be repaired
before paving so that when we complete the paving tliat we shouldn?t have to damage the
road surface to do any repairs... We have already begun ditching, cleaning of the storm
sewer pipes, inspecting cross pipes and replacing any,in question, and addressing any
private property concerns that may affect the final paving... so far all the residents have
been understanding and have worked extremely well with the DPW...
In addition to preparing to complete the capitol project we have also been doing some
cold patching throughout the village and finishing some of the minor work needing to be
completed... We have also started our yearly flushing of the sewer mains and have
completed the entire upper half of the village... I am extremely happy to report that the
weather has assisted us by allowing us to get an early start, but the crew has been
working diligently, " probably due to boredom from plowing continuously throughout the
winter"...
We have aiso been taking more time to repairing our equipment in house rather than
sending them out for repairs...
Sincerely;
Jeffrey Frisbie
Asst Supervisor DPW
