Our Mission

The mission of the Public Maintenance Division is to provide the residents of Eaton the best overall services for a better way of life.  Through these services, the Public Maintenance Division is committed to keeping the City of Eaton a clean, attractive, and desirable place to live and do business.

About the Division

The City of Eaton is rather unique among municipal service departments in that it operates as a large labor and equipment pool rather than creating artificial divisions specializing in municipal functions. All employees in the City of Eaton Public Maintenance Division plow snow, mow grass, patch potholes, pick up dead animals along the roadway, collect leaves or chip brush, maintain equipment and other diverse public maintenance functions. 

This provides not only variety to the Public Maintenance employees, but also provides the Public Maintenance Supervisor and his Crew Leader flexibility to assign work daily, based on the needs of the community rather than hamstrung by silos of a larger operation.  Some Public Maintenance employees have developed specialties and some have important credentials, e.g., spray license, but generally speaking, all employees are capable of doing a wide range of public maintenance tasks in a given day.

Parks & Recreation

The City of Eaton is fortunate to be home to a variety of parks and recreational facilities which encompass 190 acres of land, each offering something unique and valuable to our community. The Public Maintenance Division takes pride in its efforts to give our residents and visitors the best experiences possible. We encourage all our residents and visitors to enjoy all our parks.
