Mortwood said the water utility plans curb-stop replacement later this year on Mayflower Water Street and Colonial Drive and anticipates bidding and awarding the work in the summer. He described ongoing work near Rockfield Road to finish a booster station, a well and a water tower and noted other items such as water-tower rehab and generator upgrades.

On wastewater, Mortwood said there are no large active construction projects but that the utility is conducting a study to evaluate future upgrades needed at the Old Farm and Main Street lift stations. He said residents will hear more at future utility advisory committee, public works committee and village board meetings.

Mortwood emphasized that the presentation focused primarily on right-of-way impacts this summer and that additional water-utility details would be covered in future meetings and posted materials.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DPW Spring Informational Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Public Works noted planned curb-stop replacements on Mayflower Water Street and Colonial Drive, ongoing booster-station and water-tower work near Rockfield Road, and a wastewater study for Old Farm and Main Street lift stations; no detailed schedules or budgets were provided.","taxTitle","Germantown, Washington County, Wisconsin","taxId",69247,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6241199,"Germantown Public Works lists yard-waste, brush and bulky-item schedules and new yard-waste permit",197,1625000,1822000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6&start=1625&end=1822","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6/thumbnail_1625000.jpg","/articles/6241199/Germantown/Washington-County/Wisconsin/Germantown-Public-Works-lists-yard-waste-brush-and-bulky-item-schedules-and-new-yard-waste-permit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241199-aac176200f14d1a64d76df5d9aa67ebf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450709&Signature=aBlNkHS3u7XkRPcSwg~EwgqICskzkyZ~NuMlueKBZA7nvuF~5DykQU9BwaQTrA2hJMBPGk32GHTOAFsDLcQ4PRAg3wFjTQT~x5S9Qiiw0G96gJv1Kb40lM6OmsGv8r0m1DTzgy091k8bcds4fBlrVGrSqOa5yq9VBEN62aYJT2rJltNN5Hh~vcuoPxwYIYLnphAKhBEOzmlPdxSkEbkQ~NLzVmNk1LN5pRh~ViyqQFgGqYouL2UEhxmTyV8ACrcjPjpzBooL2zUO9bbD2LkpOQ1gxxB9KSzFV5dpS9lqLOqoNfP6-SweJGGZtXF6jKGkBJg7oyCFbTuCimBuGqNSfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Germantown Public Works Director Matt Mortwood reviewed operational services and schedules and said the residential yard-waste facility has moved to the new public works site off Don Just Bay Road and now requires a free residential yard-waste permit.

Mortwood said the yard-waste site is co-located with the new public works facility; residents must obtain a free two-year permit at Village Hall, providing vehicle and driver’s license information as proof of residence. He described access routing for drivers approaching from Don Just Bay Road and said the Main Street location is no longer used.

The village’s annual curbside brush collection will begin June 2. Mortwood said residents must place brush at the front of property by June 1 because crews will not return to addresses after their pass. He said progress depends on staffing, weather and equipment availability.

Bulky-item collection — for large items such as appliances — will begin June 9 and requires residents to call Waste Management to schedule a pickup; acceptable items are listed on the village or Waste Management website. Mortwood said hydrant flushing is underway (tentatively April 21–May 30 window), street sweeping continues with another pass around July 4, and tree pruning is slated for the fall following the village’s normal approval and outreach process.

Mortwood urged residents to check the village website for slides, construction project pages and contact information for Public Works.","Public Works announced yard-waste facility moved to the new Don Just Bay Road site with a free two‑year permit requirement; curbside brush collection starts June 2 and bulky-item pickup begins June 9 by scheduled appointment with Waste Management.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6241204,"Germantown public works explains seal-coat techniques to extend pavement life",243,558000,801000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6&start=558&end=801","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6/thumbnail_558000.jpg","/articles/6241204/Germantown/Washington-County/Wisconsin/Germantown-public-works-explains-seal-coat-techniques-to-extend-pavement-life","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241204-05756948856f2c815f008c9cd8d512a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450709&Signature=brZQjVqmj4FXCpT28Uir30oGWjpjroE8vXzFnPdZkDYaXcstpfqGv3aGmBfDzecPOiUqdag6gNyf~CyOgR8FOGWb5IwHapXB7bLHq8iI9XhEQcyWakRG89JJIyYr5C-WfNw5Gc1QXeIH5mXCfv~VP2~VzZ6n2Wc6Y0E4K-xYHGLR6zSzHOuI4R0-HVRxiGgm-IMLqcOPDY8BoBlK~-2wjiE1oKpsaVpZRikpNUxypABJNETinlgMzsey2gh0KgowqoQQ~mIviJFwot93FWzFPg3Fmf0gJ3NZR4XHa5P25rHdJ7PhyMc06aRN9jP44xdty1R2I6RQktd5G-2X1SZPQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Germantown Public Works Director Matt Mortwood outlined the village’s seal-coat program and explained how three different treatments are applied depending on pavement condition.

Mortwood said the village uses GSB 88, microsurface and chip-seal applications as part of asphalt maintenance. He described GSB 88 as a non-surface product that soaks into asphalt to restore oils and is typically applied early in a road’s life (around years three to five) on pavements with PASER ratings in the 7–8 range.

By contrast, microsurface contains oils and fine aggregate to restore surface condition and is used on roads slightly further along in their lifecycle; Mortwood cited River Lane as an example where microsurface was used last year. Chip seal uses coarser aggregate in a heavier application and is typically used on more rural roads with PASER ratings in the mid-range (about 5–6).

Mortwood emphasized that seal-coating is intended to extend pavement life so that reconstruction moves from a 20–25 year horizon toward 30–35 years when properly maintained. He also noted that surface appearance (for example, the temporary “black and shiny” look after application) is not an indicator of permanence for treatments like GSB 88 because the oils are absorbed into the pavement.","Public Works described three seal-coat approaches — GSB 88 (oil-absorbing treatment), microsurface and chip seal — and their place in the pavement lifecycle to extend road life and delay reconstruction.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6241209,"Germantown details multiple reconstruction projects, including Rockfield and Pleasant View roads",417,880000,1297000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6&start=880&end=1297","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6/thumbnail_880000.jpg","/articles/6241209/Germantown/Washington-County/Wisconsin/Germantown-details-multiple-reconstruction-projects-including-Rockfield-and-Pleasant-View-roads","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241209-0dcc294ff28e3a938405c3b5b258e87e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450709&Signature=ILPh~b4KbpudGkDb46VHn8YF9rbIEMSnn6Ie72L8YDgAhOXVpP9m5OODS2xkIMf5~Pis3OsOaOPFSwRCrNs~OcWc1LaP2XVqCW7qv1R7~VqoNGp4e~d49XDddRufzbEEC7kuXO1Rql4reCFi1kn~yxST5UGH5NqgMIRKjM51kiDpyRas5xiPmhQaWFH5SxkKP71OgvMBWgWh-rQw2k0bW53QCesnxji4rIXWfC2RSY4iHJljo8UKlWsB1-qNjFpP~bF0~BhT6tdBJnjMVQGOic3njEj9kHH9EnKmP9DRcsQ6-Xqlbbr70GjwmUZ9KAeVQJ0TsKvtJ6opx5E~Gj5n9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village Engineer Kevin Driscoll and Public Works Director Matt Mortwood described several multi-mile reconstruction projects scheduled for spring–fall 2025 and beyond, including Rockfield Road, Pleasant View Road, High Point Pass and Division Road.

Driscoll said Rockfield Road is about 2.75 miles and is under contract for spring–summer 2025 construction with completion expected this fall. He said Paine and Dolan will perform paving work and that village staff will provide inspection. The project will include culvert replacement work, temporary detours and road closures.

Pleasant View Road (Bonneywell to Lovers Lane), adjacent to Rockfield Road, is planned as a 1.5-mile rural reconstruction with culvert replacements and similar temporary detours; Wolf Paving is listed as the contractor. Driscoll said both Rockfield and Pleasant View are included in the Department of Transportation Agricultural Road Improvement Program and that municipalities will receive 90% reimbursement for completed work.

Driscoll also described a TID project — High Point Pass — a new urban road segment south of Holy Hill Road off Interstate 41. The contract was awarded to Vinton with R.A. Smith handling construction inspection; Driscoll corrected the planned length on-screen to a quarter-mile (about 1,500 feet). He said traffic-control modifications and outreach to adjacent businesses are planned during construction.

Division Road is under design by DPW engineering staff and is aimed at stormwater and path improvements along with selected curb work; Driscoll said the northern phase north of Jefferson Ditch may be advertised for construction this fall if permitting proceeds as planned, with the southern phase following in 2026. Maple Road (Landon Road to Interstate 41) also appears on the program for reconstruction.

Driscoll noted routine utility coordination and that construction inspection will be completed by village staff or assigned consultants. Several projects were described as subject to permitting and staged phasing; road closures and detours were repeatedly flagged as likely during culvert and reconstruction work.","Village engineers outlined scope and schedules for Rockfield Road, Pleasant View Road and other reconstruction projects; many carry state DOT agricultural road reimbursements and will require temporary closures and detours.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6241213,"Germantown outlines 2025 road program, Main Street sidewalk repairs to begin after July 4",251,211000,462000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6&start=211&end=462","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307843-4f9397f6f07b2a22b5a3778c6046e5b6/thumbnail_211000.jpg","/articles/6241213/Germantown/Washington-County/Wisconsin/Germantown-outlines-2025-road-program-Main-Street-sidewalk-repairs-to-begin-after-July-4","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241213-5dc677d1b41410bd29232c8b73c75a08/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450709&Signature=jNRJyoVGt77WeeR4TzJ9NbUjkrUHNBrZ0lYQij3~8KU4XMVORei97QUd0CSkc6s5Q8SXO6m9OhO52~41awajiyqLT7dMY7wVyxuRVPT3ZXlXVL9wFlr0XrXk492S0Y-8noflq49MqclvPgN4vbSDSzi0ZDfT~coKEV9oSFFbvTa~xcbRsSdRU~T863Q07sw~Jx7SSnqeOyVyyDSsh2xnmYq5wuYrz2SEaU9l4ZQYaQlbU8ZPDOWCwP2YaVj7sEu9RjH2QHurado9KN1IiDNynRU4p--zT0TfT41SQrQ5cvzVGH1KFXezQw~eCgYjIUVKp9Od9OhuaB7~NNPj5AR79Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Germantown Public Works Director Matt Mortwood and Village Engineer Kevin Driscoll presented the village’s 2025 annual road program Wednesday and said work on the Main Street sidewalk and several road reconstruction projects is planned to begin this summer.

Mortwood said the village’s road program has historically been funded at about $1,500,000 and that this year’s allocation increased about 3% to approximately $1,560,000. He said the program uses PASER ratings (a 1–10 Wisconsin DOT pavement condition scale) and traffic volumes to prioritize reconstruction and that the village recently completed its 2025 PASER survey; the 2023 survey remains part of the prior record.

The approved program for the coming year includes work on Sylvan Saves Drive, Montgomery Drive, Wagon Trail and repair of selected Main Street sidewalk segments from Squire to Fond du Lac. Mortwood said the sidewalk work is under contract and is anticipated to begin in early July, after Fourth of July events, and that the village will send direct notices to affected businesses and residents.

Mortwood warned that driveway approaches that sit within the public right of way will likely be removed and replaced with asphalt as part of the road work. “There are folks in Germantown who have concrete driveways. The village is always going to replace your approach with asphalt,” he said, adding that staff will work with property owners to maintain access during construction.

Mortwood directed residents to the village website’s public works and engineering pages for the full road program spreadsheet and a map showing planned years for reconstruction. He cautioned that projects shown in years three through ten are estimates and subject to change when the PASER ratings are re-evaluated.

The presenters said the village will post the slide deck and a recording of the presentation online and provided contact information for questions.","Germantown public works presented its 2025 annual road program, funded at roughly $1.56 million, with Main Street sidewalk repairs and several roadway reconstructions planned; residents were told driveway approaches in the public right of way will be replaced with asphalt.","actionData","errors"]
