COMMUNITY POOL SCHEDULE

The Public Works Department maintains and repairs all village streets and alleys, public parking lots and the Miami & Erie Canal, along with water and sewer lines and traffic signs. Leaf collection, mowing of grass, street sweeping, snow plowing and brush chipping are also included.

Public Works gets involved in such diverse activities as maintaining the Village owned Library Building, TREE CITY USA projects, and anything else that doesn't exactly fit into the other Village Departments.

The staff includes six full time, year around employees including Larry Wissman, Superintendent, plus seasonal help. Public Works also has the biggest roster of Village equipment including dump trucks, pickup trucks, snow plows & salt spreaders, mowers, two backhoes, a street sweeper, a sewer cleaner, mobile air compressor, street striping machine, mobile generator, brush chipper, leaf machine, and lots of smaller equipment.

The Department is based at 304 South Herman Street.

Brush and limbs are picked up curbside on Mondays and Fridays. There is no charge for this service but they must be placed in the tree lawn between curb and sidewalk. Please do not place them along the alley.

Curbside leaf pickup is offered at no charge on a seasonal basis. The beginning and ending dates will be announced. Leaves are to be put in a windrow on the street once the curbside pickups begin. Do not mix any grass or brush with the leaves.

If you have a major tree and/or limb removal project, the Village will park a dump truck at your property overnight or over the weekend. The truck will be locked and you cannot move it but you can fill up the bed with limbs and firewood. On the next business day, the Village will drive the truck away and dump the material. There is no charge for this service but you must schedule an appointment by calling the Public Works garage at 629-2802.

Grass clippings, leaves, or firewood may be brought to the new Village Yard Waste Facility on N. Walnut Street, near the wastewater department facilities. There is no charge to dispose of yard waste this way, but absolutely no plastic bags or other foreign material may be mixed with the yard waste.
