Middle Smithfield Township’s Public Works Department provides a number of needed services to our community. Most notably, the Public Works Department maintains the township roads throughout the year, including, but not limited to, snow removal and salt and cindering, maintenance of drainage, road repair and maintenance, and various infrastructure projects, for recreational, employment, and health and safety uses in the greater community.

Middle Smithfield Township is comprised of over 75 miles of township roads. A comprehensive road repair and maintenance plan was instituted in 2012, where between 8 and 10 miles of road are paved and or repaved to extend the useful life of all roads and keep our roads in the best condition possible. Each year, the Public Works Department. In addition to paved roads, there are over 12 miles of “dirt roads” within the township that are maintained.

The Public Works Department also maintains the Municipal Golf Course. During the golf season, Public Works crews treat, cut, and shape the course and maintain the irrigation systems. Middle Smithfield Township owns and operates trucks and machinery to accomplish the work necessary. Our newest acquisition, a leaf collection vacuum, allows for much more efficient collection of leafs during the Spring and Fall. Where once leaf collection was a 4 to 6 man job over a 3 to 4 week schedule, the new leaf vacuum allows for just 2 men over the same period. Investment in the right trucks and equipment saves tax dollars and maintaining each vehicle and equipment extends the expected life.
