June 10, 2025 - UPDATE from Jasper Street Superintendent Russ Smallwood:
We had great success yesterday getting rid of the storm debris with the help of Newman's Tree Service, the city's contractor. Our spare BBT will be used along with our dump trucks the rest of the week for storm debris. We will start the BBTs on their Monday routes today. If we continue with all five trucks for the rest of the week, we should be in good shape for next week.
