New Milford FD supports the town Department of Public Works

by

Recycling pick up to flushing the toilet. Driving to the store to cleaning up after a major storm. It’s easy to take these things for granted, thanks to our Department of Public Works.

This week is National Public Works appreciation week. So we would like to call attention to the New Milford Public Works not just this week but every day. The Department of Public Works is what keeps not just our department running by maintaining our department’s fleet (including our 30+ year old engine) but they are what keeps this community clean and safe.

So if you see a Public Works employee please thank them for all of their hard work and dedication to our Borough.

Public Works week May 21 through 27, 2023
