YEARLY REPORT OF THE MECHANIC FALLS PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. 2022-23

Scott Penney, Chris Arsenault, Andy Coleman, John Rowe

The crew at this Dept. is a special group of guys that can and most times will conquer any challenges thrown at them. Believe me, they have a lot of things over the course of a year as it seems

like there is always something new coming up when we least expect. I am thankful for having these guys; this crew can handle just about anything. We do so many different things throughout the year it is impossible to get bored. Each season has different things that need to be taken of and we try to do a

professional job at each task. In the spring we clean up sand, then we paint lines all over town, then we work on roads, ditching, prepping for paving, road side mowing, patching, building new bases under roads, digging for the Water and Sewer Dept., mowing ballfields and parks, helping the Transfer Station guys when they need it, carpentry work where needed, mechanic work that we can do, working on the buildings and anything else that comes up. Then of course we have to maintain our trucks and equipment, prepare for winter and deal with whatever winter weather comes our way. We also have to keep the sidewalks clear, which is quite a job because the state keeps filling them in, with in a day they are mostly clear for walking.
