Street FAQs
The street sweeper is out on a routine basis starting in April and continues throughout the summer season (weather permitting). The sweeper starts on the west end of town and work east. It then moves across the river and works north until the route is completed. This route takes approximately 20-30 working days to complete. Please contact the Street Department at (937)-335-1914 to determine the current sweeping status.
