Public Works Week Message from the Mayor

Public Works Week 2019
May 21, 2019
This year’s National Public Works Week theme is "It Starts Here", an appropriate theme for the Town of Pincher Creek Public Works Department. I would like to thank all of you on our Public Works team for what you do for our community on a daily basis and for always being there when needed.
You are often unnoticed until something does not go according to plan. You are behind the scenes making sure our drinking water is safe, that our wastewater and garbage are collected and disposed of properly, that our buildings and parks are maintained to a high standard to be enjoyed by all residents and that our streets are cleared of snow and maintained in a safe manner.
Many of you are on call or work shifts because the town’s core services have to be maintained 24/7, 365 days a year. Thank you for responding to water and sewer breaks, extreme snow events, water plant issues and a myriad of other things that just don't seem to happen in normal working hours. You and your families have sacrificed many special events and time together because of the nature of your job. Many citizens do notice your efforts, but, unfortunately, we rarely express our thanks for your commitment and expertise.
Council and Administration make many decisions in regard to the direction of our community. Without the support of you, our Public Works staff, most of these projects and programs would literally not get off the ground. You implement the decisions and do the necessary heavy lifting to get the job done.
As the town’s Public Works group, you are supported with many opportunities for training and many of you continue to upgrade your skill sets. I am especially proud of the fact that we have worked together to establish a culture of safety, where everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.
On behalf of the citizens and Council for the Town of Pincher Creek, thank you Public Works for all that you do.
