McFarland Photos of the Week |
After 27 years of service, it is time to say goodbye to the 1993 Chevrolet Chassis Grumman Step Van and welcome the 2020 Ford Chassis High Roof Transit Van. McFarland Public Works utilizes the van when it comes to repairing water main breaks, as well as other maintenance activities around the village. If you see the new utility van out and about, make sure to wave hi!
