Our Mission

The Public Works department is dedicated to professionally maintaining and improving the current infrastructure of water, sewer, storm, street, airport and park services, to the highest possible standards for our community. We will continually look ahead to plan for and provide services that will allow the City of Florence to meet its future goals.

The Public Works Department for the City of Florence has 23 full time employees, plus seasonal employees as available. The department’s use of Public Works best practices has allowed the City of Florence to move forward with capital improvement projects to maintain, improve, and expand public works infrastructure projects that meet community and environmental needs even as we are faced with tight budgets.
