The Department of Public Works is responsible for maintenance of all Borough roads (approximately 27 miles), including repairing potholes, snow plowing, sanding, line painting, and installing and maintaining storm drains. Public Works maintains all of the Borough's recreational facilities, including Donatoni Community Park, Friendship Field, Smith Field, Heady Field, and Park Lake. It is also responsible for the Borough Water and Sewer Utility. There are four wells which provide over 40,000,000 gallons of water annually. Please remember that water is one of our most precious natural resources and should be used conservatively.
