Department of Public Works

Welcome to the Department of Public Works web site. We hope that our online presence will make it easier for you to use our resources, whether it's directions; another recycle bin; how to obtain a permit; or to report a clogged catch basin.

We may be new to the web, but our services and functions have been around for quite some time, and we pride ourselves in our work. The Engineering Division is also responsible for the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier.
