The Department of Public Works (DPW) consists of three full-time and two part-time staff members. This highly dedicated crew is responsible for maintaining the City streets, sidewalks, and public right-of-ways. This includes keeping City roadways and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
The DPW is also responsible for installing all municipal water meters and maintaining the municipal water and sewer system. Water meters are read on a quarterly basis by DPW staff.
If you are experiencing sewer related backup issues please contact City Hall during normal business hours or the non-emergency Central Dispatch at (231) 722-3524.
