Public Works
Mission Statement
The City maintains 90.3 miles of streets and approximately 30 miles of storm sewer. Maintenance includes: Patching and repairing of both,
asphalt and concrete streets; repairing curb, gutter, catch basins and storm sewers; street sweeping; repairing and replacement of
sidewalks; tree trimming; snow removal; and repair of City maintenance equipment. These accounts include new streets, curb and gutter,
and sidewalks, which are in turn assessed back against property owners. Refuse and garbage collection is provided to all residents.
Recyclable products are collected through a recycling contractor. The airport is also maintained by the Public Works Department,
which consists of mowing, snowplowing, repair and upkeep. The Public Works Department also maintains the Lake Tomah Dam and mowing of the
