Truck #834 a 2001 Ford 250 is assigned to the Sanitary Sewer <br />department and has been used as the primary service truck. Over the life of the truck <br />repairs have been minimal. This truck does see heavy use during the summer months, <br />for this truck is used to assist in removing the manhole covers off the sanitary sewer <br />system in order to clean the lines. <br />Another unit in the fleet truck #122 a 1988 Chevrolet 3500 has a jib crane on the bed of <br />the truck and is used for both removing the pumps out of the lift stations and removing <br />catch basins that have fallen into the storm sewer structures. (This truck has surpassed <br />the vehicle replacement plan.) <br /> <br />
