Lerdo Project and Lifeline of Shafter Public Works
The Shafter Public Works Department under Jack Harris handles essential city tasks from road resurfacing around Five Points and Pacific Street to the Lerdo Project widening from Valley to Munzer once poles are removed. Park upkeep at Manuel Park, trash collection, and the disposal plant under Pop Crawford and Jack Janzen are highlighted, with Harris also leading the Public Utilities Department.
