The City of Florence Public Works Department cordially invites you to an Open House on Thursday, June 7th from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm in celebration of our new facility located at 2675 Kingwood Street. Activities and demonstrations will be programed throughout the day to provide a behind the scenes look into the contributions of our public works professionals that serve the community. A short program will begin at 3:30 pm.

“We value our community and the role Public Works plays in keeping them safe and functioning smoothly”, stated Mike Miller, Florence Public Works Director. “Our objective is to increase the public’s awareness of what Public Works is about, including the duties and responsibilities of our highly trained and professional staff”.

“Everyone in Florence relies on Public Works each day for some type of service. This includes providing excellent drinking water; efficient and effective conveyance and treatment systems for sanitary sewer; effective stormwater management; street maintenance, signage and markings for vehicular and pedestrian safety; maintenance of our beautiful parks and trails; and so much more” Miller stated. Every member of Florence’s Public Works Department takes this responsibility seriously and works hard to achieve the highest levels of service possible.

The Open House features a tour of the Public Works facility, education on our equipment and services, demonstrations by our various departments, rides on the department’s vehicles, and light refreshments.  Residents will have the opportunity to see firsthand the diverse duties and responsibilities of Public Works in a fun and entertaining way. We request children be accompanied by an adult.
