-
Sewage stoppage responsibilities
-
Preventive maintenance program by NC DEQ involves approximately 6 miles of jetting annually
-
Visual inspections of the entire collection system (approximately 50 miles)
-
Maintain all sewer line easements by mowing, clearing and cleaning several miles annually.
-
Installation of all new curb and gutter, sidewalk and storm drain.
The Public Works department is staffed with 10 employees and someone is available 24 hours a day/365 days a year. Due to the nature of the business, it is crucial to have the rapid response of this department’s manpower and equipment on a day-to-day basis to business owners and residents of the Town of Wilkesboro.
