Orange’s Highway Department has received three new vehicles. A new bucket truck will be used for traffic light repair, hanging banners at High Plains Community Center, the Orange Country Fair and the Orange Volunteer Fireman’s Carnival, as well as for tree trimming. The bucket truck replaces a 25-year-old truck which had reached the end of its days. Two new mason dumps were also acquired to replace two 21-year-old vehicles. Their new stainless-steel bodies should last much longer with continued exposure to the corrosive properties of the rock salt used in winter. These two dump trucks were purchased under the state Department of Transportation’s bid process. Photo courtesy of the Orange Highway Department.
