Public Works Open House Set for Sunday

Ever wondered what all of that heavy equipment used by the public works department looks like up close? Or what it does, and how?

Public Works employees, as well as the equipment they use every day, will be on display Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the township public works yard on Ridge Road.

According to Councilman Bob Moore, who helped organize the event, representatives from the department will explain their role in town and how they do their jobs, while providing an up-close look at the equipment they use to do it.

Moore said residents will also get to see the condition some of the equipment is in, adding that some pieces are stretched to their limits.

The public works yard is located beside the township recycling center, 836 Ridge Road, just after the turn from Sally Ike Road.
