Public Works

Advancing Quality of Life for All

National Public Works Week - May 19 - 25, 2024

Public Works is responsible for the “hidden” services that are essential to Richmond residents and businesses. Many of the services we rely on in our every day lives are out of sight or go unnoticed yet they are operating 24-hours a day, seven days week. Public Works staff maintain fire hydrants, roadways, watermains, street lights, drainage, litter collection, pump stations and more. These services are the foundation of an appealing, livable and well-managed community.
