Highland Park Operations and Maintenance
Due to funding constraints, the City was unable to perform regular maintenance activities on key assets including hydrants and valves, the latter going 15 years without attention. Today, the team flushes hydrants and exercises valves routinely per standard department of public works (DPW) and industry protocol.
