Huron-Kinloss has purchased a new street sweeper, thanks to funding from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.
The Township says contributions from the Near-Term Investment fund allowed for it to make this strategic investment in enhancing the community's cleanliness and maintenance.
Public Works' previous street sweeper had broken down, so after a "thorough investigation into the most suitable replacement options," staff settled on a Scarab Maven 65 vacuum.
"One of the main factors influencing this decision was the versatility offered by the Scarab Maven 65 vacuum sweeper," said John Yungblut, Director of Public Works. "While mechanical sweepers are typically limited to specific cleaning tasks and seasonal use, the Maven 65's innovative design includes a vacuum hose and pressure washer wand. This multifunctional capability enables our Staff to perform a wide range of additional tasks, including cleaning catch basins, water valve boxes, and excavating small holes."
The Township said it's grateful for the support and partnership of the Near-Term Investment fund and the NWMO in making this important investment possible.
