The street sweeper is also out cleaning the Countryside streets on a weekly basis. The Sweeper is a 1996 Johnston V3000 SP re-circulating air vacuum machine. Summer also finds the DPW doing the exterior painting and staining of various equipment located at the Countryside parks and Municipal grounds. Major renovation work on any of the Municipal sites is usually scheduled for the summer months. The City of Countryside also employs seasonal help consisting of college students.
Summer is also the time when fall and winter equipment is readied for service.
The fall season brings about the end of the growing season. Well, the City of Countryside has implemented a Fall Leaf Pick-Up Program. Leaves should be raked onto the parkway for pick-up. Do not rake leaves into the street as this can block storm sewer inlets and cause streets to flood during periods of heavy rainfall. Branch and brush pickup will be provided by the City of Countryside for residents beginning April 2 d and continuing until October 31' 2001.
