Thank you to everyone who came out to tour the City’s Public Works Shops as part of the fourth Sumner University tour. Thank you also to our Public Works employees who toured, displayed, explained, polished and prepared all their equipment. You use amazing pieces of equipment to give everyone in Sumner excellent water, sewer, storm service as well as roads, alleys and sidewalks.
