The Mifflin Township Road Department
employees have many responsibilities for the maintenance of Township roads
for the welfare of residents. Some of these responsibilities include patching
and paving and all general maintenance to the roadways; mowing along roads;
installing and maintaining storm and drainage tile; installing and cleaning
drive culverts and open ditches; snow removal; cutting trees and brush that
cause roadway hazards; picking up leaves; and general maintenance of all Township
buildings, tools and equipment.
The
Township attempts, as the budget allows, to asphalt or chip and seal as many
roads as we can every year. Information regarding the Township's 2008
Paving Program (including the asphalt program and the chip & seal program)
can be viewed or downloaded here.
The Mifflin Township Trustees purchased a 2004 Sterling dump truck in August of 2004 to replace the 1991 Ford L-8000.
The Ford had been a good truck, but it was time to replace it. The Trustees and Road Department researched other vehicles and finally decided on the Sterling. We feel that our decision will save money in the long run on maintenance and repairs. The old Ford was sold in December of 2004 on Govdeals.com, a government auction website.
Here are some photos of the new dump truck:
