Plains Township Department of Public Works primary concern is that of Public Safety. Working to ensure that problems such as pot holes are filled with black top, ensuring that our roads are cleared of snow and ice during the winter, seeing that the streets in Plains Township drain water properly and maintaining tight refuse collection schedules is what the Plains Township Department of Public Works is known for.
Under the direction of Jeff Gustinucci duties such as the ones mentioned above are carried out in a proper and professional manner daily. The goal of Plains Township’s Department of Public Works is to please the residents of Plains Township in any way possible.
Plains Township is a beautiful township and the Department of Public Works prides itself in ensuring that we do our part to maintain that beauty.
