Public Works
The Public Works department is made up of three smaller departments.
Fleet Services
Fleet Services is responsible for the repair and maintenance of all equipment and fleet of vehicles. The maintenance team ensures that all vehicles and equipment are kept in proper and safe operating condition. The department ensures compliance with all safety standards and policies, promotes personal safety and serves on 24 hour call to eliminate downtime of emergency vehicles.
The staff maintains approximately 325 vehicles, generators, and other various types of equipment.

Stormwater Department
The Stormwater Department is responsible for the maintenance of the Town's stormwater systems from the smallest drainage ditch to the Sawmill Branch Canal, which is eight miles long. The Stormwater Department is also responsible for the installation of pipe and other drainage appurtenances.
The department is equipped with excavators, dump trucks, bush hogs and other equipment.
Street Department
The Street Department is responsible for keeping all roads in good repair and picking up yard debris each week from the curb side of every residence in the entire town. The department uses a four wheel eight cubic yard street sweeper to sweep all the streets in town. This department also works on special projects, such as installing new sidewalks.
We install and replace street and stop signs, remove dead animals and perform other tasks as needed.
