Machias Public Works

Yearly Report

The Machias Public Works Crew had a very productive year with sweeping
sidewalks, parking lots, roadways, spring cleanup, trash removal, flower and tree
care.

The Machias Public Works painted crosswalks, striped parking lots and roadways
throughout town. Public Works continues to provide lawn care to the town owned
lawns including cemeteries, town parks and airport mowing.

The Machias Public Works is responsible for plowing snow, sanding and snow
removal including Route 1A contract with the State of Maine. Costs were up due
to the high number of storms and the price of fuel. Sand and Salt costs were up due
to the increase in the amount of ice. Crews worked long hours to keep streets,
roads, parking lots and the airport in safe travel conditions.

The Machias Public Works Crew did a lot of work in the Bad Little Falls Park,
with new flower beds, walk ways and fence repair.

Machias Public Works operating hours are Monday thru Friday 7:00 am to 3:30
pm. Our contact info remains the same, telephone number is 255-8533. We
welcome any questions or concerns. Our department wants to thank the citizens
and businesses for their continued support.
