The Barre Town Department of Public Works is
responsible for town highways (approximately 96 miles: 68 paved
miles and 28 gravel), the sewage collection system with two pump
stations, the water system with two pump stations, two water storage
tanks and a well. The DPW operates its own sand and gravel pit
which supplies sand for the winter road maintenance and gravel
for road maintenance and reconstruction. The shop or vehicle maintenance
staff maintains the town's entire fleet of vehicles and equipment.
In addition to their regular duties the DPW provides labor and
equipment to operate the Holden Road Lawn Waste site. The DPW
is called upon whenever any town department needs construction
or building maintenance help. The DPW employs fifteen (15) people,
including management and the shop staff.
