· Public works services provided in our community are an integral part of our citizens'
everyday lives.

operation of the public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets, and
highways, public buildings, and solid waste collection.

and services.

construction, is vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials.

departments is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding of the
importance of the work they perform.
