DPW is the department of the Town that removes snow from all public town streets; maintains and operates storm sewers and other drains; cares for and maintains all Town buildings; prepares or supervises the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction or reconstruction of streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, storm sewers, drains, public buildings and other structures; cares for parks including athletic fields and plants and cares for trees within the street line.

This event is great fun for the children! They can sit down on a piece of Town equipment or even take a ride in a plow truck and enjoy a hot dog with the crew! Please join us for this interesting and fun event and see all that goes on within your Town to keep Ellington functional and beautiful!
