Public Works
Keeps Ann Arbor running smoothly — above and below ground!
We maintain city streets, care for public trees, and keep our water systems flowing — from drinking water and meters to stormwater and sewer lines.
Public Works and Solid Waste Open House
Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
