Street Superintendent, Don Korem

The DeMotte Street Department maintains the streets, alleys and storm drains to provide for safe and orderly travel within the city right-of-way for DeMotte pedestrians and vehicular traffic. We strive to provide the community with the best service available, within both budgetary and environmental limitations. 


The following services are provided seasonally:


Branch pickup is offered in the spring and fall, typically once a month. Brush should be placed on the owner’s property next to the curb. Tree trunks will not be taken, nor will trees be professionally removed.


Street sweeping occurs in the warm months as a means of keeping debris from clogging the storm sewers.


Leaf pickup occurs in the spring and fall while leaves are falling from the trees. No specific dates are set for leaf removal, but it will begin when a large number of leaves start to fall and will continue until the majority of leaves are picked up or snow interferes. Leaf pickup starts at one end of town and moves from one end to the other and back again.


Snow removal occurs in the winter. A snow route is enforced for parking on main roads. Snow is cleared from the main thoroughfares first and then through streets. Alleys are plowed last.
