Public Works Department
Everything from landscaping to crack sealing the roads….
Our City is held together by our Public Works team!
We Maintain Excellence
The Public Works Department provides many of the services and programs that residents of the community enjoy. Services include, building, planning, engineering, operations and water resource recovery. Our city staff maintains excellence. Excellence is a distinct quality that is observed, not simply stated, whether it’s maintaining quality parks and trails or treating wastewater to the highest levels.
Building, Planning and Engineering staff are excellent resources to the community whether it be a first-time homeowner or longtime resident with questions. We have streamlined processes understanding that our community has come to expect the highest level of service
All department employees value the trust and positive relationships throughout the La Center community. Our appreciation is extended to the citizens that use our services and we will continue to strive to maintain excellence.
Capital Projects
The Public Works Department will be working on several capital improvement projects that will preserve our streets, increase safety and keep the city moving towards economic diversity. In order to keep citizens informed we have a capital projects information webpage.
