HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A proclamation was read at Tuesday's Hutchinson City Council meeting for Public Works Week.
"We're excited to have an area set up at this month's Third Thursday downtown," said Jamie Althouse with Public Works. "Public Works will have a section at Third Thursday kind of just to bring awareness of what Public Works is what we do for the community and the amazing people that work for us. We'll have a variety of different things there. We'll have a traffic light set up with one of our signal technicians that will kind of, you know, explain how traffic lights work and just the mechanics behind it. We'll also have our sewer inspection van there. Kids can see the robotic camera that we use to inspect our sewer system. We'll also have a couple mini excavators and some of our talented operators doing some pretty neat things. They'll be playing tic-tac-toe with each other with the excavators and playing Jenga, stuff like that, just kind of fun stuff to highlight our equipment operators and the amazing work they do, but in a fun way. We'll also have a free popcorn and bottled water and coloring books for kids."
The 64th annual Public Works Week is May 25-29.
