Divisions

The Department of Public Works is comprised of the following divisions:


Confused about who to contact about trees?  In general, the Grounds division within the Parks and Recreation department handles trees within the Town's "Urban Compact" (marked within red on this map), and the Highway division within the Public Works department handles trees outside of the Urban Compact.  Often times, these divisions will work together and assist each other.  If there are electrical lines involved, however, neither division may do anything, and any issues with trees which involve electrical lines MUST be addressed by the appropriate electrical company.
