The Public Works Department maintains Township roads of 39.10 miles and clears these roads during the winter time. It also maintains storm sewers and cleans township culverts as well as addressing other infra-structure needs in the Township. Road repair includes surface treatment, patching of potholes, ditching, and mowing right-of-ways.

In addition, they work diligently in the removal of snow, ice, fallen trees and limbs and also remove snow and ice from nearly six miles of State roads during the winter.
