Spotlight on the New DPW: What It’s All About – in pictures

This week, the Buzz will take a tour of our new $12 million DPW facility, the Baldwin Pond Treatment Plant, and the Transfer Station. The DPW keeps our streets in shape and cleared, they are responsible for keeping our drinking water clean and running, they process our trash and recyclables, and they maintain our parks and fields. They even bury us.

What goes on inside of our state-of-the-art DPW building? How are they handling the winter weather? What’s so important about the Baldwin Pond Treatment Plant? And what’s so special about the Transfer Station?

Tom Holder, Director of the Department of Public Works, and Joe Doucette, Superintendent of Highways and Parks, will show a lot of new pictures and explain what makes these town facilities work. They’ll also talk about the “private roads” issue and what makes plowing them so controversial.

If you have a little one who loves big trucks and plows and supersize lawnmowers and are curious about how all our street signs are made, be sure they don’t miss this program!!

Plus town government reports from the Board of Public Works, the Personnel Board, and others. As well as news items from around the community.

The Buzz airs on Sundays and Tuesdays, at 10am and 6pm on your Public cable channel (Comcast Ch. 8; Verizon Ch. 37).  And online on-demand anytime at WayCAM.tv/buzz
