County road crew back on 5-day week

The 50-person Whitman County road department will switch back to a regular five-day work week after running on a four-day, 10-hour per day schedule beginning in March when clocks were set forward an hour for daylight savings. The department’s schedule switches twice per year at daylight savings time.

“We believe we might be sending sanders out this weekend,” said Public Works Director Mark Storey, reporting to county commissioners Monday.
