Thank you for your interest in the City of Baker City Public
Works Department. The Public Works Department is a very
diverse department that includes a number of subdepartments. The
Water Department maintains and operates the systems
that collect surface water from the watershed, treats it,
stores it and distributes it to the end user. The Wastewater
Department collects wastewater, treats it, tests it and
properly discharges it. The Street Department
maintains 67 miles of city streets, intersections, signs,
storm water systems and shoulders. The Parks Department
maintains Geiser-Pollman park, Sam-o Park, and several neighborhood
parks. The Cemetery Department is responsible
for the maintenance and operation of Mt. Hope Cemetery.
The Swim Center is maintained by Public Works, as is the Airport.
Technical Services provides a variety of engineering
services under the direction of the City Engineer, as well
as supporting Public Works crews in the field, assisting the
public with their projects, supporting the rest of the City
departments and maintaining City Hall. The Public Works
Department, including Technical Services, is staffed with
a director, four supervisors and between 27 and 35 employees,
depending on the time of year. Unlike many departments
similarly staffed in other cities of its size, Baker City's
Public Works crews not only maintain facilities, they construct
capital projects as well. As a result, you will find
them well-trained, highly skilled and able to handle just
about anything that comes their way. The Department
is very public service oriented and takes pride in working
safely while producing high quality results.If you have any
questions or comments, or need help with a project, feel free
to call us at 524-2041 or email us at the addresses below.
Thank you!
