Engineering

The Engineering Division is mostly engaged in planning, designing, administering and answering questions on the various Town-funded water, sewer, drainage and roadway improvement projects, on finding ways to get additional work done, and on improving efficiencies through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), etc.

Assisting other Department of Public Works (DPW) Divisions and Town Departments with their daily work and with special projects utilizes the next largest block of our time.
