Wet Spring Limiting City Crews Ability to Mow

The wet spring is limiting the amount of time city crews can dedicate to maintain Clinton's green areas.

 

Public Works Director Steve Lobb says keeping up with the city parks and cemeteries right now is a challenge because of standing water but also the limited days suitable to get out and mow. He says they are juggling mowing along with the number of other things they do.

 

 

Because of the outstanding jobs and things crews have to take on, Lobb indicates he has guys working Saturdays and as the administrator is having to make sure they find tasks with the biggest need to get done first.

 

 

Additionally, as the winter has turned to spring, even if brief, and now spring transitions to summer, Lobb indicates they continue to work on potholes that cratered during the winter months. He encourages residents to reach out to him and let him know where they see any areas that need to be addressed.

 

 

It has been over 15 years since the City went to a general Public Works Department from individual departments and Lobb says that has streamlined their efficiency and allowed them to put more manpower to areas of need.
