Public Works
Welcome to Public Works! We are responsible for a wide variety of functions within the City of Brewer, which include, but not limited to: street maintenance and repairs, i.e. sweeping, pavement repairs, and pothole patching; sidewalk maintenance and repairs; storm drain maintenance and repair; snow removal on roads and sidewalks; sign maintenance, repairs and replacement; pavement markings at intersections and crosswalk painting all around the City; and small scale construction projects. We provide construction support to all other City departments and co-administer paving projects with Engineering. You could say all roads eventually lead back to Public Works. . .
