Weekly Blast!: Do you hold a Commercial Driver’s License? If so, the Town of Grant is seeking snowplow operators and might be interested in interviewing YOU! Hours are part-time, unpredictable, and totally weather dependent – CRAZY! But if your winters are spent here rather than Arizona or Florida give our Town Clerk a call at 715-213-7370 or the Town Hall at 715-423-9193 or email her at clerk@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov.   The failed culvert on 90th Street S between Quarry and County Road W was replaced this week. The culvert was provided by Wisconsin Flowgate and installed by Red Run Property Services. Our own crew was busy conducting maintenance on various roads by joint and crack-sealing, and patching holes. We’re never going to run out of work!   Are you an ATV or UTV enthusiast? A recent Department of Natural Resources report stated that Wisconsin leads the nation in fatalities. As of August 8th, there were 30. The three top causes were: failure to wear helmets, failure to wear seatbelts, and lack of completing a safety education course. If you love this recreational sport, please be careful out there. Take safety precautions to heart.   Have a good Labor Day weekend, Sharon

There was a lot of activity on south side of Mill Road this week east of County Road U. Old, plugged, cement driveway culverts were removed and new culverts installed.

In addition, filled ditches were reshaped after the material was removed. Prior to this action lack of proper drainage led to local flooding. Thanks are extended to Public Works employees Leo Kruger and Garry Saeger, and Supervisor Scott Provost for conducting this work.

 

Enjoy the warm weekend. Hopefully, the Thursday morning frost was our last one for a while…Sharon
