Mission Statement:
Our engineers strive to hold the highest safety, health, and welfare of the public in the performance of our professional duties. We aim to treat the residents and other Town Departments with the outmost respect and abide by the Engineers Code of Ethics.
Duties & Responsibilities:
The Engineering division provides analytical analyses and design, develops plans and specifications, and estimates management, coordination, and construction support for the Department of Public Works. This includes the utilities, water, and sewer, as well as stormwater, drainage, and roadway design.
All water, sewer, and gas services, as well as driveway installations, are inspected and approved onsite by the engineering staff. In addition, the Drain Layers are approved and licensed by the Engineering division.
The Engineering division works closely with other Town departments to assist with planning and conservation review, as well as traffic management. They provide technical support to Town Counsel for miscellaneous legalities. In addition, the GIS mapping is created and updated by the engineering personnel.
The office is extensively involved with the Sewer Expansion project. This year Phase’s 9, 10, and 11 have been active in construction. The schedule is still on track to have all sewer pipes in the ground by 2010.
In the locations where the sewer utility is available to the public, engineering issued permits to construct, repair, extend, or connect to the municipal system per approved plans. The Community Development Permit Technicians track all permit documentation. A total of approximately 400 sewer connection permits were issues this year.
