The Public Works Department staff designs, operates, and maintains the city-owned facilities and equipment. The staff’s major areas of responsibility include streets, street lights and signals, sewers, storm drainage and public buildings. The staff administers environmental protection services for sewer and stormwater service within the city, provides professional and technical support to other city departments, and manages franchises granted by the city.
The Department operates in four divisions, plus an administrative section.
- Environmental Services Division: Provides planning and technical assistance to ensure compliance with water quality standards and other environmental regulations and provides administrative services and capital improvement design and construction for the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC).
- Engineering & Transportation Division: Plans, designs, constructs, administers, and inspects the construction of Public Works facilities. Also prepares long-range plans of the transportation network and maintains traffic signal operations and timing. The division also administers the City's municipal sanitary sewer, stormwater, and transportation systems as they relate to private development.
- Maintenance Division: Sweeps and patches streets, cleans storm and sanitary sewer systems, and maintains landscaping features, such as street trees, on public property. Also responds to emergency events which adversely affect the City’s street, storm drainage, or sanitary sewer systems.
- Technical Services Division: Provides Geographic Information Systems (GIS), mapping, and survey services.
