Every year during the first week of October, the HBPW, among thousands of other public utilities across the county, officially celebrate Public Utilities Week! It is during this week that we spend our time giving back to the community in which we serve. Last week, HBPW employees gave back to the Hannibal community in a variety of ways:
– Picked up trash in Sodalis Park and along Bear Creek and Warren Barrett Drive
– Removed vines, power washed, and stained the pergola at Veterans Elementary School
– Repainted the front steps and refinished a table at the Hannibal Free Public Library
– Completed stormwater stenciling at various locations in the city of Hannibal
– Installed electrical outlets at Learning Opportunities Quality Works
– Patched up drywall and poured concrete for the front steps at AVENUES
– Put together Buddy Packs for the Hannibal School District
– Repainted fire hydrants at various locations in the city of Hannibal
– Mowed, trimmed, and picked up trash at Robinson Cemetery
– Completed event tear down at Project Community Connect
These service projects took a lot of hard work and coordination. We thank all of the HBPW employees who volunteered their time and talents last week to benefit the Hannibal community! We also thank all of the HBPW employees who kept operations running smoothly while their colleagues were completing these service projects.
