DPW AWARD/OPEN HOUSE
At the DPW Open House that was held in May, “Sustainable Milton” was
given the distinguished “Larry DeCelle Friend of DPW Award” for their outstanding
efforts in promoting sustainability, including the securing of Clean
Energy funds for the installation of Solar Photo-Voltaic systems at Milton High
School and Town Hall, development and implementation of comprehensive recycling
educational programs within the elementary schools, and even promoting
the sale of rain barrels at the DPW Open house event. The DPW Open
House continues to be a popular event, drawing families and officials to learn
about the work of the DPW and get a first-hand look at the equipment the Dept.
uses on a daily basis.
CALL RESOLUTION
The call resolution system continues to be an integral part of assuring the
efficient distribution, management and tracking of the work load of the DPW.
The system logs requests for services, complaints and generates work orders.
During FY09 there were 830 calls reported and logged into the system. The
830 reports do not account for reports for missed trash, recycling and most
snow and ice related calls. Including all citizen reports of need for service, the
DPW logged more than 2800 total calls; 639 calls were processed due only to
solid waste collection; these calls relate to trash, recycling, yard waste and
Christmas trees. Most snow and ice calls are not logged into the system because
they are generally received during storms or at times which they are addressed
immediately.
