Our Utility Operations team takes special pride in maintaining this prestigious designation. Responsible for the City’s water and wastewater infrastructure, the
team’s highest priority is to provide safe and reliable drinking water. Utility Operations is a division of the Public Works Department, which was the first public works department in Dallas County to be accredited by the American Public Works Association.
