Department Description
The huge job of maintaining and expanding the Township of St. Clair’s transportation and utilities infrastructure falls to the Public Works Department. The pavement under our feet, the water in our glasses, the guidance of traffic signals – all of these services and more are the product of the great people in this department. Their objective is to deliver cost-effective public works infrastructure and services to the Township to meet both current and future needs.
The Public Works Department is divided up into several functional units: An administrative arm, an Engineering Department and an Operations & Maintenance Division. The Operations and Maintenance Division has two public works garages, one just outside of Mooretown and one in Wilkesport.
Services provided by this department include water, sanitary and storm sewers, drainage, engineering, road maintenance, waste management, street lighting, sidewalks, and crossing guards.
