Capabilities:

The DPW has a highly skilled team of mechanics.
The Mechanics at the DPW are trained in the maintenance and repair of both gasoline and Diesel powered equipment. They handle all repairs from the routine oil change to changing out massive diesel engines in large trucks and fire engines.

Water quality is assured by careful monitoring

The staff works in conjunction with other departments and agencies to insure pure, safe drinking water for the Riverview Residents.

Project Planning Process Capital Improvements Program
Each year an updated version of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is prepared which reflects proposed improvements over the ensuing five-year period. Once Council has prioritized prospective projects, those scheduled for the following year are authorized for feasibility study. At that point, the Engineering Department / DPW surveys the project areas, prepares preliminary designs, evaluates alternatives, holds a neighborhood meeting, and presents a recommendation to Council in the form of a feasibility report.
