Responsibilities

The Public Works Division has the responsibility to provide essential services to the entire community that is utilized every day by every citizen. This includes producing and distributing a safe drinking water supply; ensuring that all backflow prevention assembly devices are tested annually to protect the City's potable water from cross contamination; collecting and safely treating the generated wastewater; and collecting and safely disposing of all the solid waste generated by the citizens, and businesses of Cleburne according to state/federal regulations.

Traffic Count Program

The Traffic Count Program is important for Cleburne as it allows the Public Works division to assess the amount of traffic on a road, the speeds of traffic, and trends of traffic on a road. This data can help provide important information on whether road infrastructure, or speed limits, will need to be reassessed to keep up with trends. This program also allows developers to view traffic trends on busier roads and can impact their decision on where to develop to attract the most customers.
