WATCH: Chatham Twp. DPW Hits The Road In New 'Perspectives' Video

CHATHAM TWP., N.J. – They’re often the unsung heroes of Chatham Township, keeping the town in shape for residents to freely go about as they please and enjoy the amenities offered.

The newest installment of Chatham Township Perspectives, a video series highlighting parts of the town, focuses on the Department of Public Works and what the workers do on a daily basis.

Richard Young, Manager of the DPW, explains the daily challenges of maintaining more than 40 miles of township roads, water treatment and building and grounds crews under normal conditions, and during storms and power outages.

“We are pleased to offer this behind the scenes look at the Department of Public Works as part of our increasingly popular Chatham Township Perspectives video series,” Mayor Curt Ritter said. “This dedicated group ensures that our roads remain safe during winter storms, our playing fields are in great condition for our children, and encourages Township-wide sustainability efforts in the management of our recycling center. On behalf of our residents I thank Rich and his team for their continued hard work. Their commitment and experience is one of many reasons Chatham Township remains a great place to live and raise a family.”
