Public Works Department - Information

Our Vision:

The coming decade will bring continued growth to Meridian, creating stronger demand for public works facilities, greater expectations for expanded services, intense focus on environmental quality standards, more complex compliance, and continued escalation of both costs and demand for readily accessible data.  The department will meet future challenges by investing in more capable computing systems, focusing on professional development and training, updating antiquated ordinances , and utilizing local technical consultants to assist department staff.  These and other efforts will result in a well-prepared city that has modern, reliable water and sewer systems, an emphasis on environmental quality, and accessible, responsive, and cost– effective public services.
