What We Do

The Public Works & Utilities Department operates and maintains nearly all of the City’s infrastructure while also providing many of the City services that residents use on a daily basis.

Responsibilities

As the City’s largest department, the Public Works and Utilities Department operates and maintains:
  • The City’s regional potable water system
  • The sanitary and storm sewer systems
  • The wastewater treatment and water recycling plant
  • The collection of garbage and recyclables from residents and businesses through curbside collection and the Harvest Drive Public Drop-Off Center
Public Works accomplishes these responsibilities all while also ensuring that the city complies with all regulatory requirements and helping to advance the city’s sustainability goals. Additional responsibilities include:
  • The Public Works also designs and oversees construction of many of the City’s road through our Engineering Division.
  • The Public Works Conservation and Education Division provides residents and businesses with information, motivation and tools to conserve the natural resources managed by the Public Works and Utilities Department.
