This year's National Public Works Week (NPWW) is 14y 17 tPtough May
23, 1992. The goal of NPWW is to make people aware of their public
utilities and those that manage them. We all take it for granted that
when we turn the water tap, fresh clean water will flow out; and when
we want to drive to work in the dead of winter, the streets will be
clear of snow. These water and street systems, along with the
sanitary sewer and storm drain systems are all available through the
hard work and effort of the Public Works Department. When we talk
about providing public safety, most people immediately think of the
Police and Fire Departments, however, each and everyday the Public
Works Department provides safe, fresh, potable water; a safe ,
efficient, environmentally sound, sanitary sewer system to collect and
treat our human waste; a storm drain system which safely directs the
flow of storm water; a street system which allows residents to drive
safely and comfortably around the City. All of these complex systems
require a great deal of planning, engineering and maintenance to keep
working efficiently. The attached list of maintenance tasks shows
some of these tasks.
Rosemount is a unique City in that it has a more mature area (in terms
of infrastructure), surrounded by a newer, faster growing suburban
residential area, plus a distinct heavy industrial district within
agricultural areas in the eastern part of the City, in addition to the
rural residential areas in the northwest. Each of these areas require
different types of maintenance which the Public Works Department
attempts to provide. The Council has provided the Public Works
Department good equipment and good people to operate and manage our
public utilities. We thank you for your past support and ask that you
keep in mind the tough and complex jobs that the Public Works
Department undertakes in future allocation considerations
With that, we ask that the Mayor proclaim May 17th through May 23rd as
National Public Works Week to recognize all of our Public Works people
for providing all of us with our public utilities.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor proclaims May 17th through May 23rd as
National Public Works Week.
