public works preps for summer
As summer begins, the Borough of Brentwood Department of Public Works is hard at work maintaining our parks, roads, and public facilities so residents can enjoy the season.
Residents are encouraged to park in driveways whenever possible on street sweeping days. Keeping vehicles off the road helps crews more effectively remove dirt and debris from roadways and supports the Borough’ s MS4 stormwater program by helping prevent pollutants from entering local waterways and storm drains.
