Village of Orfordville Utilities

Orfordville Public Works Department
The Public Works Department is comprised of three full-time and three part-time employees. Jim Shumway has been with the village since 1978. His primary responsibility within the department involves parks and street maintenance. Jerry Amundson began his service with the village in 1979. Jerry operates the Wastewater Treatment Facility for our village. Our water supply system is maintained and monitored by David Fuller who has been employed by the village since 1990. Although they each have individual responsibilities they are skilled in working together when the need arise. The department's part-time employees are instrumental in assisting in various areas of the Public Works Department.
Some of the equipment owned by the village includes a street sweeper, wood chipper, leaf vacuum, construction tractor, sludge truck, van, and 3 dump trucks equipped with snow plows and sanders. They also maintain over 8 miles of streets, 4 parks, 8 buildings, and several miles of water & sewer mains. Bi-annually the village conducts yard waste removal services for its residents. One week in the spring and fall are dedicated to collecting grass clippings, leaves, garden waste, and brush. All other times of the year the department maintains a yard waste drop off site at the waste water treatment plant.
