Waterloo Faces Large Street Maintenance Challenge
Street Commissioner Harvey Will and a 12‑man crew oversee 265 miles of dirt, gravel, and paved streets plus 95 miles of sewers in Waterloo. With 209 miles dirt streets and 42 miles of alleys, roads require dragging, grading, filling, and sewer work such as removing a 40‑foot tree root from a Kenilworth drive sewer. The budget stays tight as residents report bad spots and cities balance toil with limited manpower.
