The City of Pittsburg employees are part of a large network of local public employees who work diligently to provide many services. At the City, the majority of our resources are focused on public safety, including police, fire, water, wastewater, stormwater and streets. Last week was an unprecedented time for so many of us. Harsh temperatures, snow and ice, coupled with a loss of power, caused a strain on our families, businesses and our community. The stories of hardship across the country served as a reminder to me how fortunate we are to have such dedicated public servants working on our behalf. Our crews did what they always do – they worked hard to make sure essential services continued. They kept the water flowing to our homes, they battled the snow, ice and below zero temperatures to keep the roads passable, the police and fire department responded to calls for emergency service, and our customer service team kept taking calls, a lot of times from their homes when they couldn’t get to the office.
