Maintenance of Waterloo Streets A One Man Job
Waterloo faces a vast street maintenance challenge with 12 men under street commissioner Larvey Wil. The city manages 209 miles of dirt streets 76 miles paved and 42 miles of alleys, plus 98 miles of sewers, relying on patches, grading and dirt hauling while farm teams and two power sweepers address ongoing wear and washouts. Budget constraints limit hires, yet residents report many bad spots and frequent sewer blockages, with steady calls to repair crews.
