Jobs In Your Town

Have you ever driven through your town and seen men and women working? These people work for the many departments in that town. Some of these departments include: the street, water, and electric. The people in these departments are trained to do exactly what needs to be done in their town.

The street department takes care of the roads and how they appear. They pick up the litter along side of the roads and keep the grass mowed so that they look nice. They also fill in all of the pot holes, lift and replace the manhole and stone drain covers, climb down the manholes, and operate many different machines and vehicles. They work long hours either sitting or standing all day.

The water department designs and plans how the water and sewer systems will be placed in a town. They install and maintain these systems. They also plan surveys and approve what water and sewer system will work for a subdivision or land lot. Another thing these workers do is help develop computer models for their water and sewer systems.

Electric Department workers install and maintain the electrical work that needs to be done in a town. They also make sure that the town has the electric it needs to run a business and have lights and other electrical devices in peoples homes. They work many different hours; which makes for long days. These men and women are specially trained to work with and maintain the electrical systems.
