Trash and Water Utilities

The Solid Waste activity manages the outsourced solid waste contract with Waste Industries.  This firm provides weekly (off-season) and twice-weekly (summer season) residential solid waste pickup services and weekly recycled material collection.  Commercial solid waste collection services are privately managed by each commercial enterprise.  The Town provides “white good”, yard debris and limited C&D collection services for residential properties.

The Water Utility activity manages the construction, maintenance and daily operations of the Town’s water supply system.  This includes a major water plant facility, six deep water wells, three 500,000 gallon water storage towers, twenty miles of water lines, and thousands of water meters.  Management of the 24 x 7 x 365 water plant (including required certifications), meter reading, and problem resolution are primary activities of the persons assigned to this group.
