$6.6 million for FY08 DPW Projects Wrapping Up - June 02, 2008
PITTSFIELD – Mayor James M. Ruberto announced today that the Department of Public Works & Public Utilities is doing water/sewer, storm water, and street improvements all over the City of Pittsfield. Six of the fifteen major projects that began in the fall of 2007 have been completed with the remainder finishing up this summer.
“Your tax dollars are being used to improve the infrastructure of Pittsfield to ensure that our public utilities and roadways are the best that they can be for years to come,” said Mayor Ruberto. “This next fiscal year the DPW has an aggressive agenda that will improve more streets and bring better services to many neighborhoods.”
$1.8 million was put into improving 50 streets throughout Pittsfield including: Sections of East Street, Lyman, Broadway, Exeter, Yarmouth, Westchester, Winship, Thomas Island, Summer, Fourth, Depot, Charles, Appleton, Backman, and Eagle. The other $4.8 million was put into water/sewer and storm water projects throughout Pittsfield.
“These projects started last year and will be complete by the end of this summer,” said Bruce Collingwood, Commissioner of Public Works & Utilities. “Right now we are in the final stages of determining what projects we will undertake in the FY09 year, but I guarantee we will be as aggressive this coming fiscal year as we were last.” |
