Public Works 

The department's employees are responsible for providing the community with water, and wastewater systems, as well as maintaining approximately 175 miles of streets and rights-of-way, and the surface and subsurface storm drain systems.

Our divisions are unique but share one goal - to allow people to live together in a healthy, environmentally safe manner.

For any questions regarding Public Works or the Solid Waste Agency, please contact Public Works at 541-450-6110, or send an email to Jason Canady.
