Program Broad Goals
Maintain streets and shoulders in safe travelable condition.
Maintain water and waste water infrastructure to provide safe and reliable potable water to
Town customers.
Maintain accurate inventory of streets and their current condition.
Manage all Public Works capital projects to be on schedule and within budget.

Program Service Description
The Public Works Department is responsible
for: the operation, maintenance, repair,
and installation of the Town’ s traffic signs,
signals, roadway markings, and
approximately 10 miles of street pavement
and storm drainage; maintaining public
records and regulatory requirements;
Public Works also assists other departments,
the Academy, and volunteer groups as
needed:
Setting up for community events
Providing traffic control devices for DPS use
Supervision of community service workers
Provide back-up coordinating/ inspecting work for facility maintenance

Program Trends
The Town’ s population continues to increase ( see Planning & Development Section), which
also generates a significant increase in the demand for Public Works services.
With the continued influx of new residents, we experience a demand for services that rivals
surrounding municipalities as many are accustomed to receiving a broad base of public
services. Staff manages these expectations and provides an accessible department that
values the personal relationship with our residents.
Commercial and Residential Developments will require staff attention as our community
continues to expand within the DFW Metroplex.
