Each season has an impact on our community and Public Works employees are trained to respond, adapt and provide outstanding service to Elgin's citizens. Snow removal and ice control are examples of seasonal events that we continue to develop more efficient working methods for the betterment of the city. Street resurfacing and pothole patching; road projects; leaf pickup; water and sewer main planned improvements; tree trimming and planting; traffic lane striping are work tasks that are scheduled on a seasonal dependent basis.
