2009 Annual Report | Public Works Department <br />Page 2 <br />Operation & Maintenance: <br />The O&M staff consists of a PW and Parks Supervisor, a Lead Utility Worker, seven Maintenance <br />Workers, a Mechanic, a MVCC Custodian, and nine seasonal maintenance workers. As previously <br />mentioned, the O&M staff is generally responsible for ensuring operation, maintenance, and repair of <br />City-owned infrastructure, facilities, land, and vehicles. Most of the O&M responsibilities occur after <br />infrastructure construction is complete and ready to be used, where many of the A/E responsibilities <br />relating to projects end at construction completion. O&M staff is cross-trained with each other to <br />ensure good knowledge and coverage of responsibilities and duties, which especially comes in <br />handy during stand-by (on call) duties. <br />Notable Accomplishments: <br /> Drinking Water - supply, treat, store, and distribute drinking water <br /> 520,000,000+ gallons pumped <br /> 1,100+ water meter readers replaced <br /> 450+ fire hydrants flushed/inspected/managed <br /> 25 fire hydrants raised <br /> 47+ miles water main operated <br /> 1,000+ gate valves operated <br /> 5 municipal wells/3 treatment plants operated <br /> 1 booster station/500,000 gallon water tower/2,000,000 gallon reservoir operated <br /> 7 water main breaks repaired (2008/2009 winter) <br /> Annual Water Quality Report: prepared/mailed <br /> Numerous Gopher State One Call locates <br /> Wastewater Collection - collect and transport wastewater <br /> 44+ miles sanitary sewer cleaned/operated <br /> 900+ manholes managed/inspected <br /> 7+ miles sanitary sewer televised <br /> 2 lift stations operated/maintained <br /> Stormwater - collect and treat stormwater runoff, flood protection <br /> 30+ miles storm sewer operated <br /> 1,500+ catch basins/drainage structures operated <br /> 10+ regional stormwater ponds managed <br /> 80+ infiltration features installed (SUIP-Area A) <br /> Streets & Trails - manage pavements, snow/ice <br /> control, traffic control, street lights <br /> 43+ miles streets plowed/operated <br /> 15+ miles trails/sidewalks plowed/operated <br /> 1,400+ traffic signs managed <br /> 260+ tons salt applied for snow/ice control <br /> 620+ tons asphalt used for patched <br /> 133 mailbox posts fabricated for 398 mailboxes <br /> Parks & Park Facilities - maintain park land, shelters, <br /> amenities, athletic/recreation facilities <br /> 11 parks (150+ acres) operated/maintained <br /> 60+ acres mowed/fertilized <br /> 30+ acres irrigated <br /> 5 park buildings/shelters operated/maintained <br /> 2 hockey rinks/3 skating rinks operated/maintained <br /> 10 softball/baseball fields maintained <br /> 4 soccer fields maintained <br /> 2 tennis court facilities maintained <br /> 3 basket ball courts maintained <br /> 4 volleyball courts maintained <br /> 10 playgrounds maintained bird’s eye view of Public Works Facility
