Pocatello departments switch to summer work hours April 3

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - The City of Pocatello Street Department and Water Pollution Control (WPC) will switch to summer working hours Monday, April 3.

Street Crews will begin working from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. This switch in schedule allows the Street Operations Department to coordinate their work schedules with other City departments, the State and County Road and Bridge departments, and construction contractors. Moving to summer working hours will enable crews to take advantage of longer daylight hours and times of low traffic volume.

Before and after business hours and on weekends, street-related emergencies should be reported to the Pocatello Police Department, at 208-234-6100. The proper crew will then be notified of the situation. During business hours, please contact the Street Operations Department, at 208-234-6250.
