The Street Department is responsible for the maintenance of more than 130 miles of city streets.

The City Council recently approved the purchase of a new 16 Cubic Yard dump truck with dump body, snow plow, sander and pre-wet system.  This truck will be used primarily for snow plowing on the highways in the city and will be equipped with a 12 foot plow and an additional 12 foot wing plow allowing the Street Department to basically plow two lanes at a time.
This truck will be set up for highway plowing exactly the same way as the trucks at the Nebraska Department of Roads.
