OVERVIEW

WHAT WE DO

If a light pole is damaged or destroyed, our team works quickly to make the roadways safe by removing obstacles, rewiring light poles, standing poles upright, and replacing metal studs within concrete.
The Communications Department is responsible for installing and maintaining two-way radios and emergency signaling devices for Elyria’s Police and Fire Departments.
