Public Works

The Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of all city streets, storm sewers, water, and sanitary sewer systems, city parks, and city-owned equipment. The Public Works Department consists of three divisions: Street, Parks, and Water/Sewer.

• The Street Department is responsible for the maintenance of local streets and storm sewers. The Street Department's responsibilities include street signs, regulatory signs, pavement markings, pavement repairs, and snow plowing. ​Snow Plowing - Public Works asks for your cooperation in order for the City's crew to work safely and effectively when snow plowing. Snowplowing is a demanding task to keep Spring Lake Park's street and in good traveling conditions. Please exercise caution around snowplows, keeping a safe distance.
• The Parks Department is responsible for the maintenance of all city parks and grounds. These responsibilities include turf maintenance, field preparation, tree trimming, and building maintenance.
• The Water/Sewer Department operates and maintains water towers, wells, water mains, sanitary sewer lines, and fire hydrants.​​​ Check out how the City protects your water by reading the City's Wellhead Protection Plan.
