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
