Public Works

The mission of the Hanover Department of Public Works is to protect, preserve, improve, and manage the Town's infrastructure and related assets.  Infrastructure includes the Town's roadway and drainage networks, cemeteries and parks, transfer station, water distribution system, and water treatment plants.  The department employs 38 full-time and five seasonal or part-time employees.  Public works employees are either working or on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to respond to any infrastructure-related challenges that may arise.

The Department of Public Works crews perform interesting tasks every day to keep the infrastructure of the Town running.  The goal of this page is to provide interesting and timely updates on the work that the department is performing.
