The public works department will do our best to keep this page up to date, so everyone will know what to expect.


We Maintain Excellence

The Public Works Department provides many of the services and programs that residents of the community enjoy. Services include, building, planning, engineering, operations and water resource recovery. Many of the functions occur without much notice due to the highly qualified and hard working employees in the department. We boast that “we maintain excellence”. Excellence is a distinct quality that is observed, not simply stated, whether it’s maintaining quality parks and trails or treating wastewater to the highest levels.

Building, Planning and Engineering staffs are excellent resources to the community whether it be a first time home owner or longtime resident with questions. We have attempted to streamline processes understanding that our community has come to expect the highest level of service

All department employees value the trust and positive relationships throughout the La Center community. Our appreciation is extended to the folks that use our services and we will continue to strive to maintain excellence.
