Welcome to the new and improved Department of Public Works website!  Show/Hide More

Thanks to the tireless efforts of  our city employees, Milwaukee residents and businesses today enjoy safe drinking water that rates among the safest in the country, 476 acres of magnificent, well-tended boulevards and green spaces, and ongoing major improvement projects completed on time.

It's little wonder, then, that the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works has earned the international reputation it enjoys today for cleanliness and beauty.

Public Works is a diverse department of divisions, clearly committed to a common goal: to improve our quality of life in Milwaukee. This site was created to reflect that mission and enable you to get the most of our services.

Thank you for visiting us online. I invite you to explore our new site.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Mantes
DPW Commissioner
