National Public Works Week

Each year the American Public Works Association (APWA) sponsors “National Public Works Week” to honor the important role public works and infrastructure plays in everyday life.

National Public Works Week 2025 is May 18-24.

We celebrate the engineers, technicians, operators and support staff who design, build, and maintain the City's municipal infrastructure - thank you for keeping our community running efficiently and safely!
