Operating Standards
The Public Works Operating
Standards is the ‘service manual’
for the Department, clearly
defining what, when, and how
each task shall be performed.
Using this as a benchmark, we are
able to systematically evaluate our
tasks, our expectations, and what
resources are necessary to
effectively carry out the
responsibilities defined within.
