The responsibilities of this department are those felt most directly by the citizens in town. From disposing of recyclables, to leaf pick-up, to repairing broken water mains, and making sure that park facilities are clean and usable, the Public Works department impacts our lives on a daily basis. The Town of Portland Public Works Department strives to enhance the quality of life of all the residents by providing safe, reliable, effective service consistent with the vision and goals of the community.
