DPW Day at the Library Today

The Plymouth Department of Public Works will hold the eighth annual DPW Day at the Plymouth Public Library, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.

The theme for this year’s National Public Works Week is “Because of Public Works.” DPW Day will feature a display of public works equipment – including a bucket truck, a loader, a sweeper truck, a plow and much more – in the library parking lot at 132 South St.

The library’s Otto Fehlow meeting room will feature department displays with maps and materials important to the infrastructure of the town of Plymouth – roads, bridges, signals, mapping, the beaches and much more.

Plymouth’s DPW is composed of the engineering, highway, parks, water, sewer, cemetery, recreation and environmental; management departments. The men and women of the DPW are responsible for the 102 miles of roadways in Plymouth along with our public water supply, wastewater collection and treatment system, parks and cemeteries.

This program is free and open to everyone in the community and will include popcorn, ice cream and fun. The library is fully accessible. For more information about DPW Day, contact the Youth Services Department at 508-830-4250 or visit www.plymouthpubliclibrary.org.
