Department of Public Works

Responsibilities

The Department of Public Works (DPW) is responsible for the improvement and maintenance of the Town's infrastructure: roads, water treatment system, water distribution system, wastewater treatment system, wastewater collection system, storm drainage system and cemeteries.

Responding to requests for assistance, whether they are requests to correct a problem with the infrastructure or to provide water or sewer billing information, is a major function of the Public Works Department. The Department identifies large scale, long-term needs which are then incorporated into the Town’s financial plan.
