Public Works

The Public Works Department is a vital part of the daily operations within the township, and the part that you will see the most as a resident of Sandy Township. The Public Works Department consists of two very distinctly differing sub-departments each performing their duties to the upmost of their abilities and holding to the high standards that make our township one of the most highly maintained and updated in the state, the Road Department and the Water and Sewer Department.

These employees are responsible for the maintenance, installation, and repair of all of the 82 miles of road, 20.5 miles of water line, 24.7 miles of sewer line, storm water drainage, and right-of-way upkeep associated with the roadways. They perform various duties as the seasons change, from snow removal in the winter time to cutting over-growth from the road edges in the summertime. The water and sewer department also operates a sewage treatment plant that treats the sewage for the Interstate 80, Exit 97, area of the township and 4 sewage pumping stations. As of 2011, they also now are responsible for the operation and upkeep of a water pumping station and storage tank located along Main St. Ext.

As consolidation approaches we are working closely with DuBois City Public Works to meet the needs of all citizens.
